1 bag of frozen cauliflower florets
1/3 cup cottage cheese 1/4 cup extra sharp white Cheddar
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 TBL parmesan
Generous sprinkle of pink Himalayan sea salt and black cracked pepper (freshly ground is tastier)
This is the Drive-thru Sue version, so try to pick up cauliflower in a package that you can steam in the microwave.
Once the cauliflower is steamed, empty the bag into a smallish mixing bowl, pasta bowl, or extra large cereal bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a fork, breaking up large pieces of cauliflower so that you have more uniform chunks.
Microwave again for about 60 seconds to warm all the cold cheese.
ENJOY!
This dish is a great way to eat more than one serving of non-starchy vegetables. It's packed with protein and flavor. And it's not really 4 Cheese, because one of my "cheeses" is actually Nutritional Yeast. I choose the 4 "cheeses" because they are super flavorful, and we usually have all of them on hand. I try to keep bags of frozen cauliflower on hand, too. It's a quick and easy meal to make in under 10 mins by my estimation. I steam my cauliflower for 6 mins, add the cheeses, and microwave all for 1 minute.
Cheesy cauliflower has become one of my healthy comfort foods and this version is tastiest and quickest way I have come up with fixing it. You could easily make this a Purist style recipe by choosing to cut up a fresh, organic head of cauliflower and heating it up in your Instant Pot, oven, or on your stove top. You could make your own cottage cheese!
The possibilities with this recipe are practically endless. You can steam cauliflower however you like, switch up the cheeses, and heat in all however you choose. You could even top it with some homemade FP breadcrumbs and crisp that under the broiler.
I hope this gives someone some great ideas to love Cauli-mac!
