Ingredients

1 Medium head cauliflower
1 tablespoon Cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon Minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon Straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Preparation

Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.

Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and pepper until almost smooth.

Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.

Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new taste.
