Cut the head of cauliflower into florets and boil in a pot of salted water for 5-6 minutes.
Drain the florets and set them on a tea towel so that any excess water can be removed. Extract any excess water by wrapping the florets in the towel and squeezing.
While the cauliflower is still hot, place it into a bowl and add the butter, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and cheese. Note that you can add any other herb or flavoring of your choice from basil to garlic. Using a potato masher, mash the cauliflower until a desired consistency is achieved. Alternately, you can place all ingredients into a food processor and process it until the florets are broken down and are smooth like the consistency of mashed potatoes (being sure to scrape down the sides with a spatula every so often).
Garnish with black pepper and/or chives. Serve immediately.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
- A quick alternative is to buy a bag of frozen cauliflower florets (15oz) as these can usually be steamed in the bag in a microwave.
