For the Dish
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Provides fat for cooking, enhances flavor
  • 4 cups Cauliflower (Riced) Fresh is best, but pre-riced works too

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; adjust according to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Offers mild heat; adjust as needed
For the Cheese Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Brings creaminess and flavor
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Creates a rich texture; substitute for lighter option
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard Powder Adds depth; optional if unavailable
  • 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese Block cheese is best for excellent melting

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Gently toss in the riced cauliflower and broccoli, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 8-9 minutes until just tender.
  3. Transfer the riced vegetable mixture to a bowl, wiping the skillet clean.
  4. Return the cleaned skillet to medium heat, add butter until melted, then whisk in heavy whipping cream and mustard powder until hot.
  5. Stir in sharp cheddar cheese and mix until melted and creamy.
  6. Add the sautéed cauliflower and broccoli back to the skillet, coating well in the cheese sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve warm, garnishing with extra cheese if desired.
