Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large head of cauliflower
1 tsp minced garlic, optional
3 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp butter
3 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1 Tbsp chives, dried
salt to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste
2 slice bacon, fried and crumbled.

Steps:

  • 1. Clean and trim the cauliflower; break in to pieces. Place in a microwave safe dish, add garlic, 2 tbsp of cream and 1 tbsp butter. Microwave on high for 5 to 6 minutes uncovered, remove from microwave and stir to coat cauliflower with the cream and butter mixture. Return to microwave and heat on high an additional 5 to 6 minutes uncovered.
  • 2. Transfer the hot cauliflower and any cream and butter that was left in the bowl to a high speed blender. Add remaining 1 tbsp of cream, and 1 tbsp butter as well as the cheese (reserve a little of the to sprinkle on top), salt, pepper and chives. Process, scraping down sides as needed until creamy. NOTE: This dish is not as creamy as mashed potatoes. You can add a little more cream for a creamier mixture.
  • 3. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl and top with a little of the shredded cheese and bacon bits. Enjoy!
