Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower
Ingredients:
Head of fresh cauliflower, broken/cut into florets or chopped
1/2 to 1 cup of low-sodium vegetable broth (you can substitute whatever broth you have at home)

1 TBSP butter
1/2 to 1 cup of mozzarella cheese
Dash garlic powder
Dash black or white pepper

2. Remove from heat and drain any excess fluid.
3. Mash cauliflower with a potato masher or mixer until it reaches desired consistency.
4. Add onions, garlic powder, pepper, butter and Greek yogurt. Stir well. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Place mixture into a baking dish and top with mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake at 400° for about 15-20 minutes or broil on high for 5 minutes.
