Ingredients

salt
1 head cauliflower cored, trimmed, and separated into florets
1 cup milk or cream, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups cheese grated white melting, like cheddar, Asiago or Gru
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg freshly
parsley leaves Chopped, for garnish

Directions

1

Fill a large pot with water, put it on to boil, and salt it. Boil the cauliflower until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving about a cup of the cooking water. Wipe the pot dry.
2

Put the milk, butter, and cheese in the pot over medium-low heat. Sprinke with salt and pepper and the nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally to keep the mixture from sticking, until the cheese and butter start to melt, 3 to 5 minutes.
3

Stir in the cauliflower and mash with a fork or potato masher; stir well to combine. The mixture should be the consistency you like in mashed potatoes. If its not creamy enough, add a little of the cauliflower cooking water or more milk or cream until it is.

Taste and adjust the seasoning, garnish and serve.
