Cheesy Cauliflower Puree


I bought two heads of cauliflower yesterday and I'm so glad I did because I'll be eating this for lunch again today!  It's only 9am and I already can't wait!  Yum!

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower
2 Tbl heavy cream
1 Tbl butter
2 ounces dubliner or other sharp cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Clean and trim the cauliflower, breaking it into medium sized pieces.  Place in a microwave safe bowl with 2 Tbl of cream and 1 Tbl of butter.  Microwave, uncovered, on high for five minutes.  Stir to coat cauliflower with cream/butter mixture.  Microwave for another 4 minutes on high.  Remove from the microwave and put into a high speed blender or food processor along with the  cheese.  Puree until smooth.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  You can adjust the cream and butter to your preference.  Mmm, mmm, good!
