Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (softened)
1⁄2 cup sour cream
1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon ground mustard seed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese (approx. 5 ounces)
Instructions

In a large skillet, bring ¼ inch water and ½ teaspoon salt to a boil. Add cauliflower in an even layer, cover with lid, and steam for about 3 minutes, until slightly tender. Drain well. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, crushed red pepper, mustard seed, and garlic powder. Mix in half of the Gouda, then the cauliflower. Transfer mixture to an 8 x 12-inch baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Gouda on top. Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and broil a few minutes to get a toasty golden top.
