Delicious! What I like best about this recipe as opposed to the many others on 'Zaar is that it's only 3 ingredients (fast and very easy to make) and doesn't use a lot of butter, cream and cheese. We are fortunate to have a local cheese producer http://www.prairiefruits.com/ that makes award winning chevre. Served this with Recipe #262248 Thanks for sharing!

If you LOVE the taste of chevre (goat cheese) you will love this recipe. I used 1 1/2 tablespoons of margarine instead of the butter buds. It added moisture to the dish. When I cooked the cauliflower in the microwave, I put it in a dish and covered with plastic wrap. When the cauliflower was cooked, there was extra moisture. I also added that moisture to the recipe. I used a hand mixer to cream/blend the recipe which reminded me of a chunky not creamy mashed potatoes but excellent tasting! I will make this again but I won't use goat cheese; a personal preference, perhaps feta will make five stars for me? Thanks for submitting a recipe not filled with butter, whole milk, etc. that results in a comfort food.

Like the others, I used light tub margarine since that is what I had in the house. The flavor of the goat cheese is really good in this (I love goat cheese paired with mashed sweet potatoes). I ended up doubling the amount after tasting it though. And I think you could add even more. This yields more servings than stated, so increasing the goat cheese wouldn't raise the fat/person that much. A nice way to change up your veggie side dish.
