Twice Baked Cauliflower with Bacon

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and coat a large square baking dish with cooking spray.

2. 2

   Place the cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until fully tender, approximately 6 minutes.

3. 3

   Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and blend until smooth, then add the sour cream, yogurt, and butter and blend again until the mixture is uniform and creamy.

4. 4

   Combine the blended cauliflower mixture in a bowl with three-quarters of the cheddar, the bacon bits, chives, garlic, and black pepper. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and scatter the remaining cheddar on top.

5. 5

   Bake on the middle rack until the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and continue cooking until the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more.
