Loaded baked cauliflower casserole

A creamy cauliflower casserole with crispy bacon and lots of cheese. It’s super easy to prepare and the result is super delicious.

Ingredients

110 g bacon
450 g cauliflower
150 ml crème fraîche or sour cream
225 g (475 ml) cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
salt and pepper

Method
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C.
Chop the bacon into small pieces. Fry until crispy in a hot frying pan. Reserve the fat for serving.

STEP 2
Break the cauliflower into florets. Boil until soft in lightly salted water. Drain completely.

STEP 3
Chop the cauliflower roughly. Add sour cream and garlic powder, if you’re using any. Combine well with 3/4 of the cheese and most of the finely chopped chives. Salt and pepper.

STEP 4
Place in a baking dish and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Serve with the bacon, the rest of the chives, and the bacon fat that adds a nice extra flavour and taste.
