super cheese vegetable bake

Before keto I loved a good potato or cauliflower bake. The only problem is that the base of how I would make the sauce involved flour and loads of milk.

After quite a few unsuccessful attempts at a replacement sauce and some searching around I have come up with this little dish which I feel does the job quite well.

I like to make this with cauliflower and broccoli but I'm sure this would go well with any number or other meats/vegetables even just as a sauce over the top of your meal.

With the ingredients it is kind of calorie laden so bear that in mind if you calorie count as well. But on the plus side the cream helps to increase the fat content

Ingredients
1C Cream
1/2 C Cream Cheese (room temp preferably)
A good handful of your favorite cheese
Herbs (I use things like parsley or chives)
Salt & Pepper
Garlic (1-3 cloves)
Vegetables of choice

Today I made Cauliflower bake so I started by cutting up the flowerettes and steaming them.

Pour the cream and cream cheese into a large saucepan.

Heat on low until the cream cheese and cream are melted together

Once its all melted add in the cheese and stir.

Add in garlic, herbs, salt and pepper to taste

Keep stirring until everything is nice and melted together.

Once the consistency is smooth the sauce is ready to enjoy

For vegetable bake:


Add the vegetables to the sauce and stir to make sure that all the vegetables are covered in the cheesey goodness

Transfer to a baking dish and cook until its all gooey and bubbly.




Enjoy
