Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces Neufchatel cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Pecorino Romano cheese, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup shallots, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Scallions, chopped for garnish
  • Crackers or pita chips

Directions

  1. Place a baking sheet in the oven and heat the oven to 425 F.
  2. In a bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil and salt and pepper. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and dump the cauliflower onto the baking sheet, arranging into a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes until golden brown, flipping the cauliflower halfway through the baking process.
  3. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 F.
  4. Place the roasted cauliflower into a food processor or high-speed blender. Add the Neufchatel cheese, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sour cream, 1 cup of the Pecorino Roman cheese, garlic, shallots, salt and pepper. Process or blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the cauliflower mixture into an 8-cup baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the oven, top with the scallions and serve.
