Cauliflower Mac & Cheese

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 2 cups Cheddar
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 3/4 cup Heavy cream
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp Mustard powder
• 1/4 cup Almond flour
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Cut the cauliflower into bite-size, mac-sized florets.
2. Steam 5 minutes until just tender, then drain extremely well — watery cauliflower makes a watery sauce.
3. Warm the cream and cream cheese in a saucepan until smooth; take it off the heat.
4. Whisk a ladle of the hot cream into the beaten eggs to temper them, then whisk that back into the pan — this keeps the sauce silky instead of scrambled.
5. Stir in the cheddar a handful at a time until glossy; season with the mustard powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Fold in the cauliflower and spread into a buttered baking dish.
7. Toss the almond flour with the melted butter and scatter over the top for crunch.
8. Bake 20 minutes until bubbling and deeply golden; rest 10 minutes so it sets into scoopable squares.
