Ingredients

• 4 cups cauliflower florets
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and boil for about 6-8 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving about a tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 4

Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Heat until the cream cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Remove from heat and add sharp cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.

Step 7

Gently fold in the drained cauliflower florets, chopped bacon, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix until everything is well coated with the cheese sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the top with additional shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
