Smoked Gouda Cauliflower - 6.17g Carbs, 2.4g Fiber, 3.77g NET CARBS
From: buttoni.wordpress.com
This recipe has proven to be a real winner in my collection. I thought I'd feature it again today as I'm making it for dinner tonight. It's one of my favorite cauliflower creations. Smoked Gouda doesn't melt easily, but if shredded, it usually melts OK. In this dish, it takes an ordinary cauliflower casserole and transforms it into the sublime. It is the smoked Gouda that truly sets this dish apart from all the other cauliflower casseroles I have ever eaten.
This recipe appears in Volume 1 of Low Carbing Among Friends (click for more info) by best-selling author Jennifer Eloff and other talented chefs.
1 medium-large head cauliflower
6 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz smoked Gouda cheese, grated or shredded
1/4 tsp coarse black pepper
Dash salt (optional)
Optional: chopped chives or green onion to top
Cut up cauliflower into manageable pieces and boil or steam until tender. Drain off any water and mash the chunks up slightly with a fork (do not puree, however). Stir in softened cream cheese until it is melted and blended well. Grease glass casserole dish and spoon half the cauliflower mixture in. Sprinkle with half the grated smoked Gouda (I do not recommend using slices for this. Grate it to facilitate melting). Spoon remaining cauliflower into dish and top with rest of Gouda cheese. Sprinkle with just a dash of salt and pepper if desired, but cheese has a lot of sodium. If you are sodium sensitive, I wouldn't add ANY salt. Sometimes I add some chopped chives or green onion to the top, but this is not in the nutritional info below. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly.
Serves: 6 (you may get up to 8 servings and that will lower the net carbs even more)
