Ingredients
Yield: 12 servings
- 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 (8-ounce) block reduced-fat cream cheese, roughly cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup hot sauce (I recommend Frank’s)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions
- optional: 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
- optional toppings: extra crumbled blue cheese, thinly-sliced green onions, chopped celery, and/or a drizzle of hot sauce
Method
Warm oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, if desired.
Spread the cauliflower out on the baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Turn to combine until the cauliflower is evenly coated. Then spread the cauliflower out evenly on the baking sheet. Salt with salt and pepper. Then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is slightly charred around the edges. Lift from oven.
Move the cauliflower to a large mixing bowl, and add the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, hot sauce, Greek yogurt, green onions and blue cheese. Whisk until evenly combined.
Oven: Turn oven to 350°F. Spread the mixture out evenly in a 9 x 9-inch baking dish. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheeses are completely melted and the edges of the dip start to brown. Lift from the oven, and finish with your desired toppings. Plate warm, with your desired dippers.
Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of the bowl of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Tip in all ingredients to the bowl of the slow cooker, and stir until combined. (You can also stir the ingredients together in a separate bowl, and then move that to the bowl of the slow cooker afterwards.) Cover and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, or on low for 3-4 hours, until all of the cheeses have melted. Give the dip a final stir, then move to a serving bowl and finish with your desired toppings.
