Cauliflower and Blue Cheese Dip

This flavorful, hot appetizer dip is a simple combination of puréed cauliflower, blue cheese, cream cheese, and mayo. It’s terrific spread on either crackers or slices of toasted baguette and makes a memorable alternative to potato chips and dip.

We love to serve this appetizer dip to company because it’s easy to prepare, serves twelve, and can easily be made a day in advance and baked just before serving. In the unlikely event, you have leftovers, it reheats well too!

Ingredients 

  • 8 cups cauliflower florets, about 2-1/2 lbs fresh or two 16-ounce bags frozen
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of garlic powder, optional

Instructions 

  • Place the water and salt in a large pot fitted with a steamer rack. Bring to a boil, add the cauliflower florets, cover and steam until they are very tender when pierced with a knife, 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously butter a medium-sized oven-proof baking dish.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl and add the blue cheese, cream cheese, and mayonnaise.
  • Mash together roughly with a fork, then purée with a hand-held blender until the mixture reaches the desired consistency (we like to leave it a little chunky). You can also use a food processor or conventional blender if you prefer.
  • Season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder, then transfer to the prepared baking dish (dish can be made ahead to this point).
  • Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then serve with crackers or thin slices of toasted baguette.
