Effort:Easy

Ingredients:

2 packages frozen cauliflower

1/2 cup butter

1 bunch green onions -- (4 or 5)

1/4 heavy cream -- 1/4 to 1/28 ounces cream cheese -- at room temp

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

How to Prepare:

Place the cauliflower in a large saucepan and cover with lightly salted cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain thoroughly; transfer to a large mixer bowl. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While cauliflower is cooking, in a medium skillet over medium low heat, melt butter. Add green onions and saute until tender. Add 1/4 cup milk, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheeses are melted. Add the melted cheese mixture to cauliflower and beat with electric mixer until fluffy. Season to taste. If mixture seems too stiff, add a little more milk. Pour into a 9 X 13 inch casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Mixture should be nicely browned on top and slightly bubbly.
