  3. Drain well in a colander and let steam for 2 minutes so the mash isn't watery; wipe the pot dry.
  4. Return the pot to low heat, melt the butter and stir in the thyme for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the drained cauliflower and garlic back to the pot and mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth.
  6. Off the heat, stir in the Greek yogurt, Parmesan, salt and black pepper.
  7. Fold in the parsley and half the green onion, then spoon into a bowl and scatter the remaining half of the green onion on top. Serve warm.
