4 servings
- 1 large head cauliflower (about 2 lbs), cut into florets
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - ¼ cup whole milk, warmed
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Fill a large pot with 1–2 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Set a steamer basket inside, add the cauliflower florets in a single layer (work in two batches if needed), cover, and steam until completely tender and a fork slides through the thickest pieces with no resistance, 12–15 minutes.

While the cauliflower steams, warm the milk and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is steaming but not simmering.
