1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
