Loaded Cauliflower Au Gratin
Loaded Cauliflower Au Gratin
:Loaded Cauliflower Au Gratin is a delicious dish that takes cauliflower to a whole new level! It's a twist on the classic potatoes au gratin, but instead of potatoes, it uses cauliflower. The cauliflower is cooked until tender, then mixed with a creamy cheese sauce, topped with crispy bacon bits, green onions, and more cheese before being baked until golden and bubbly.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 6 oz. cream cheese cut into chunks
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ¼ tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon dried dill
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1½ cups Italian cheese blend shredded
- 4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon chives fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Place top oven rack in the center position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket on top of a pot with boiling water and steam until fork-tender, around 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer cauliflower into a cold water bath to prevent further cooking. Drain well and pat dry.
- Transfer steamed cauliflower to a large bowl and add cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, garlic powder, and dried dill. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
- Transfer to oven-safe casserole dish and top with shredded cheese blend and crumbled bacon. Place in pre-heated oven and roast until cheese is melted and nicely browned on top, around 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately topped with fresh chives. Enjoy!
