Step 1
Start by placing the cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl with a little water. Microwave it for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until it’s nice and tender. There’s no need to drain the water afterward. Next, add the cream cheese and butter right into the bowl, then mash everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped green onions, and finish by seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Give it one last mix, and it’s ready to enjoy!

How to serve
Serve warm alongside roasted meats, grilled fish, or as a base for sautéed vegetables. It also pairs well with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or broth to loosen the puree if it thickens.
