Follow The Directions

01

Step

Place cauliflower florets into a large microwave-safe bowl with just enough water to cover the bottom. (1 minute)

02

Step

Cover loosely with waxed paper or a paper towel. Microwave on high until tender, about 4-5 minutes; drain well. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor. Add the herbed goat cheese and purée until completely smooth and creamy. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Season generously with freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy! (1 minute)

For an even richer flavor, try roasting the cauliflower florets before steaming. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Experiment with different herbs in your goat cheese, such as rosemary, thyme, or chives, to customize the flavor profile.
A squeeze of lemon juice adds a bright, tangy finish.
If you don't have a food processor, a blender or immersion blender can also be used to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
