Microwave and mash cauliflower
Start by putting the cauliflower and a little water into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is nice and tender. There’s no need to drain the water after cooking. Next, add the cream cheese and butter right into the bowl. Mash everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped green onions, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix, and it’s ready to enjoy!
