Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the cheese sauce: Whisk together the sour cream, blue cheese, milk, mayonnaise, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes
- For the Buffalo cauliflower: Meanwhile, microwave the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on high until melted. Whisk in the hot sauce and lemon juice and set aside.
- Mix olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss until well coated. Spread the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beginning to brown and just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk the hot sauce mixture again, drizzle over the cauliflower and toss with tongs to coat. Roast the cauliflower until the sauce is bubbling and browned around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve hot with the cheese sauce.
Tips:
- To make the cauliflower mousse extra smooth, use a food processor or blender to puree the cauliflower until it is completely smooth.
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have any Parmesan cheese, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère.
- To make the mousse ahead of time, prepare it up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, bring it to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve the cauliflower mousse with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower mousse is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or light meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a healthy and flavorful dish or a unique and elegant appetizer, cauliflower mousse is a great option.
