4 slices shortcut bacon
6 cups cauliflower florets
3 cloves garlic, crushed
⅓ cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon whipped butter
¾ teaspoon salt
Fresh black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, divided
¼ cup shredded reduced fat cheddar
Directions
- Cook the bacon in a pan until crisp; set aside on a paper towel then crumble.
- Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil and add cauliflower and garlic. Boil until the cauliflower is soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, and return to the pot.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Add the buttermilk, whipped butter, salt and pepper to the cauliflower and purée with a hand blender. If you don’t own a hand blender, a regular blender would work fine as well.
- Mix in 1 tbsp of the chives and transfer to 4 individual casseroles (3/4 cups each) or one 8 x 8 casserole dish and top with cheddar and crumbled bacon. Bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes then top with remaining chives.
