1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup / 0,5 dl heavy cream
1/2 cup / 1 dl shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup / 0,5 dl sour cream
2 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil until fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes.
- Drain well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Add the cooked cauliflower to a food processor or blender.
- Blend with butter, heavy cream, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a food processor, use a potato masher or immersion blender.
- Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a bowl and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
- Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and chopped chives for garnish. Optionally, add extra cheddar on top and broil for a few minutes to make it golden and bubbly.
- Enjoy warm as a side dish to your favorite keto meals.
