Preparation

Step 1

If starting with chopped cauliflower, pulse cauliflower in a blender until reduced to rice-sized pieces, working in batches.

In an extra-large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant and onion has slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cauliflower and broth. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add all remaining ingredients, and cook and stir until cheese has melted and mixture is uniform, about 2 minutes.
