If you are watching your carb intake , you can replace eating your carbs with super healthy cauliflower. As for me, I just ate 1 portion of this to replace my normal steamed rice.
This dish is so creamy, tender soft cauliflower mixed with melted cheese, I just love it!! Yes, I love anything with cheese!! If you love cheese, you will definitely love this too!!
This is a perfect side dishes for any main course or serve it when having a party, just eat it on its own. Easy to prepare. So delicious!! Probably an afternoon snack for the kids.

Steps By Steps :
1. Trim & cut cauliflower in small florets.
2. Boil water, add some salt & blanch cauliflower for about 3-5 minutes or until just tender. (depends on the size of your florets). If you like it crunchy, shorten the blanching time.
