Ingredients
- 1 T butter for baking dish
- 1 cauliflower cut into bite sized pieces, medium heads
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- salt pepper
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 oz. cream cheese cut into cubes
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded
- ¼ cup bacon bits optional
- 1 cup pork rinds can sub panko bread crumbs, crushed
- 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 2 tbsp. parsley for garnish (optional, freshly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- On a rimmed baking sheet toss cauliflower with 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper. Spread cauliflower out and roast until just starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 F.
- While cauliflower is roasting, heat cream in a large saucepan. Add cream cheese cubes and stir until melted. Gradually add remaining cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat, add bacon if using, then fold in roasted cauliflower. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
- Butter an 8x8 baking dish. Transfer mixture to the baking dish.
- Sprinkle cauliflower mixture with pork rind crumbs and finely grated parmesan. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley before serving if you can wait to dig in!
Notes
- I used a white cheddar since that was what I had. But a yellow cheddar would result in a richer color, so that is what I’ll try to use in the future.
