A Low-Carb Swap

What Is Boursin Cheese?
Boursin cheese is a delicious, mild, creamy cheese that you can find in almost any grocery store. It is a cross between goat cheese and cream cheese and has delicious herbs like garlic, chives, and parsley. It is the star of this recipe!
What Ingredients Are In Boursin Cauliflower Mash?
- 1 head of steamed cauliflower or steamed cauliflower florets
- 1 package of Boursin cheese
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
- Parmesan cheese to top
- Salt and black pepper to taste
How Do I Make This Recipe?
Start by steaming your cauliflower and draining off any excess water. Add your steamed cauliflower to a large pot, and add a package of Boursin cheese, a stick of melted butter, and your milk. Use a hand mixer or immersion blender to combine all the ingredients until your cauliflower mash is smooth. Grate fresh Parmesan over the top, and stir to combine. Serve immediately as you would mashed potatoes, or spoon the mixture into a baking dish and top with more of your favorite cheese. Bake this in the oven until it is warmed through and the cheese is bubbling. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra cheese, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to four days and microwave them when you’re ready to serve.
