Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Medium cauliflower head
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them until they are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Alternatively, microwave them in a covered dish with a tablespoon of water for 8-10 minutes until soft.
Once cooked, drain the cauliflower well and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Place the drained cauliflower into a food processor along with cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the cauliflower mixture into an oven-safe baking dish or individual ramekins for portioned servings.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
Transfer the dish or ramekins to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the mixture bakes, cook the bacon until crispy (if not already cooked) and crumble it into small pieces.
Once baked, remove the cauliflower mixture from the oven and top with crumbled bacon and green onions.
Optionally, serve with a dollop of sour cream on top for added creaminess. Enjoy your delicious low-carb twice baked potato!
