Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Sour cream
- 3 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 4 slices Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into florets and steaming them for about 10-12 minutes or until tender.
While the cauliflower steams, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
Once cooked, transfer the steamed cauliflower to a large mixing bowl or food processor. Mash or blend until smooth.
Stir in the sautéed garlic, cream cheese, butter, and sour cream. Mix or process until creamy and well combined.
Add salt, black pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Fold everything together.
Spoon the cauliflower mixture into an oven-safe casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your mock twice-baked 'potatoes'!
