Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 c. cauliflower florets chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 oz. cream cheese cut into chunks
  • ¼ c. heavy cream
  • 3 T. unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ t. garlic powder
  • ½ t. dried dill
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1½ c. Italian cheese blend shredded
  • 4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 T. fresh chives chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in center position.
  2. Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam until just fork-tender, about 6–7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the cauliflower to a colander and let it drain for a minute or two. Pat very dry with paper towels to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
  4. Add the cauliflower to a large bowl with the cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, garlic powder, and dried dill. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
  5. Transfer to oven-safe casserole dish. Top with shredded Italian cheese blend and crumbled bacon.
  6. Bake 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and nicely browned on top.
  7. Remove from oven and top with fresh chives. Serve immediately.
