1
Boil Cauliflower and Garlic
Start by putting the cauliflower, garlic, and a bay leaf into a pot. Cover everything with water and bring it to a boil. Let it cook until the cauliflower is soft, which should take about 20 minutes. Once it’s tender, drain the water and toss out the bay leaf.

Blend Cauliflower Mixture
Next, transfer the cooked cauliflower and garlic to a blender. Add the cheddar cheese, butter, and sour cream, then blend until it’s smooth and creamy—feel free to blend less if you like a chunkier texture. Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Enjoy!
