Ingredients

  • 2 large head Cauliflowers chopped (8 cups chopped)
  • 4 strips Hickory Smoked Bacon
  • 1 cup Onion diced
  • 4 teaspoons Garlic minced
  • 10 ounces Goat Cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup Reduced Fat Cream Cheese softened
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Green Onion sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 400°F and spray a small casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Place the chopped cauliflower into a large bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. Stir and microwave for an additional 8 minutes, until fork tender.
  • While the cauliflower cooks, heat a small pan on medium heat and cook the bacon until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once cooked, blot of the excess fat with a paper towel, cut into small pieces and set aside. Make sure to reserve the bacon fat in the pan.
  • Heat the reserved bacon fat on medium/high heat and cook the onion and garlic until golden brown and soft, just 2-3 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked cauliflower into a large food processor and add in 8 oz of the goat cheese, the cream cheese and the cooked onions. Process until well mixed and almost totally smooth, keeping a few chunks in for texture.
  • Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the sliced bacon and mix until evenly distributed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Fill the prepared casserole dish with the cauliflower and crumble the remaining goat cheese on top.
  • Bake until the top just begins to brown, about 20 minutes. Garnish with green onion and serve.
