6 C. Cauliflower florets
3 tsp. Minced garlic
⅓ C. Heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp. Whipped butter unsalted
1 Tbsp. Chives chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ C. Cheddar cheese shredded
Chopped green onions for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bring the cauliflower and minced garlic in water to a boil over medium-high heat on the stove. Continue to boil and cook for 15 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and place it into a blender or food processor. Add the heavy whipping cream, whipped butter, chives and salt and pepper to taste to the blender or food processor. Blend until slightly chunky still, and well combined. Place the cauliflower mixture in an even layer in the bottom of a well greased baking dish. Top the cauliflower with the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese. Bake for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and serve topped with chopped green onions for garnish.
