Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Stuffed Twice Baked Cauliflower.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a large square baking dish and give it a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Next, take a microwave-safe bowl and add your frozen cauliflower.
Step 4
Pop it in the microwave for about 6 minutes, or until it’s nice and tender.
Step 5
Once it’s ready, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and blend it until it’s beautifully smooth.
Step 6
Now, add in some creamy sour cream, tangy yogurt, and softened butter, then blend again until everything is perfectly combined and creamy.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, combine your luscious cauliflower mixture with 3/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, fresh chopped chives, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 8
Stir everything together until it’s all evenly mixed and bursting with flavor.
Step 9
Spread this delightful cauliflower concoction into your prepared baking dish, and don’t forget to sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese on top for that irresistible cheesy goodness.
Step 10
Place the dish in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
For that perfect golden finish, switch your oven to broil and let it bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to achieve that beautiful golden brown top.
Step 12
Enjoy the delicious aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare to serve this creamy, cheesy cauliflower dish that’s sure to impress!.
