Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Whipped Goat Cheese

• 2 1/2 cups dry white wine
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 head of cauliflower, leaves removed
• 4 ounces fresh goat cheese
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 3 ounces feta
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for serving

1. Preheat oven to 475u0b0F. Bring wine, oil, kosher salt, juice, butter, red pepper flakes, sugar, bay leaf, and 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add cauliflower, reduce heat, and simmer, turning occasionally, until a knife easily inserts into center, 15-20 minutes.
2. Using 2 slotted spoons or a mesh spider, transfer cauliflower to a rimmed baking sheet, draining well. Roast, rotating sheet halfway through, until brown all over, 30-40 minutes.
3. While cauliflower is roasting, blend goat cheese, cream cheese, feta, cream, and 2 tablespoons oil in a food processor until smooth; season with sea salt. Transfer whipped goat cheese to a serving bowl and drizzle with oil.
4. Transfer cauliflower to a plate. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with whipped goat cheese.
