Mockafoni and Cheese
Ingredients:
16 ounch bag of frozen cauliflower (I used fresh)
4 ounces of cream cheese
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
4 ounches of shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese (I double this amount and it makes it really nice)
Directions:
Cook the cauliflower until tender and drain well.
In a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, soften the cream cheese in the
microwave - about 30 - 40 seconds on high.
Whisk in cream until smooth and then stir in 4 ounces of shredded
cheddar cheese.
Microwave on MEDIUM about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Stir well until creamy and smooth. Stir in salt and pepper.
Add cauliflower and gently fold into cheese sauce to coat well.
Top with the remaining 2 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese (I usually use 4oz) and bake at
350 F for about 35 minutes until bubbly and brown on the top.
I have been adding about 8oz of diced ham to this recipe and it is wonderful. But, last time I went shopping they didn’t have any so I picked up a pack of Hebrew Nation Knockwursts. I chopped them up and sauteed them in a bit of olive oil and added them to the recipe.
This is wonderful. I highly recommend it.
