Holiday Side Dish: Cheesy Cauliflower Mash

Ingredients

1 small head of cauliflower (cut into 1-inch pieces)1 cup of grated Real California Oaxaca cheese (mozzarella also works)
1 cup of grated Real California asiago and dry jack
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp fresh rosemary (minced)
1/4 tsp thyme
2 tbsp Real California butter

Instructions

Boil the cauliflower florets until you can cut through it like soft butter; this takes about 20-30 min2.
Remove the water from the pot so your mash won’t be too watery
Carefully transfer the cauliflower into a food processor and blend until smooth (you can also use a potato masher as well for a chunkier texture)
Return the cauliflower mash into the pot on very low heat
Slowly blend in the grated cheeses and spices
