Instructions
- Prepare the cheesy cauliflower mash:
- Clean and trim the cauliflower, breaking it into medium sized pieces.
- Place cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl with 2 Tbsp of heavy cream and 1 Tbsp of butter
- Microwave, uncovered, on high for six minutes.
- Stir to coat cauliflower with cream/butter mixture. Microwave for another six minutes on high.
- Remove from the microwave and put into a high speed blender or food processor along with 2oz of sharp cheddar cheese. Puree until smooth.
- Add the egg to your cheesy cauliflower mash and mix well.
- Place about 2 Tbsp of mash into each greased muffin tin cup. Spread out the puree to about a half inch thickness on the top and sides of each cup. Be sure it’s not spread too thinly – it won’t come out of the tin well if so.
- Bake the cauliflower mash cups at 375 degrees (F) for 30 minutes until they dry out and firm up. If they are still too soft, add them back for a few more minutes.
- Take the cauliflower mash cups out using a butter knife to release them gently from the muffin tin and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Fill each cup with cheese and bacon and put back in the oven for 5 minutes or until melted.
- Garnish with sour cream and scallions.
