The best way to make the mashed cauliflower is to lightly steam the cauliflower, so that it’s easily pierced with a fork, but not falling apart. Once steamed, let it cool for a few minutes, then use a flour sack towel and wring the liquid out of the cauliflower. You will be surprised at how much liquid comes out of the cauliflower!
This mashed cauliflower and ham casserole makes a really delicious brunch item. Top it with a poached egg and it’s a filling keto breakfast!

Looks like a lot of butter. Directions do not include when to use. I'm going to add only 1/2 the listed amount while mashing the cauliflower. Will post again after dinner.

My apologies, I updated the post. You could definitely use half the amount.I used softened butter and mix it up with the cream cheese.
