Method
 

  1. Mince the garlic. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the cauliflower rice and cook, stirring often, until tender and the moisture has cooked off, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last minute.
  3. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese and stir until the cream cheese melts into a smooth sauce, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the cheddar, parmesan, salt, pepper, and mustard powder and stir until the cheese is fully melted and creamy.
  5. Taste and adjust the salt, then top with chives and serve hot.
