Twice Baked Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 2 tbsps half & half cream
• 3 tbsps parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 3/4 cup chicken stock
• 1 head medium cauliflower
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 oz cream cheese, low fat

Directions

1. Break up cauliflower into chunks and simmer with onion in broth until soft, about 25 minutes.
2. Add minced garlic for last minute or so, remove from heat and drain excess broth (should only be a little) and beat with electric mixer until smooth.
3. Add spices, softened cream cheese (let it sit to room temperature for a half hour or so) and cream. Whip until smooth and a light consistency.
4. Pour into greased 9" square pan and sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.
5. Note: I actually like this better than mashed potatoes.
