Keto Cauliflower Bacon Cheese Mash Recipes

BAKED KETO BACON CAULIFLOWER MASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the cauliflower in a microwave safe dish with a lid on high for 8 minutes, or until soft. Remove from microwave and take off the lid to let steam escape. You want the cauliflower to dry out a bit. See the post for tips.
• Transfer the cauliflower and all ingredients except bacon and cheese in a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth and salt and pepper to taste if you need to. Add almond milk or heavy cream one tbsp at a time if you need more moisture to get it smooth.
• The texture should be smooth. Transfer to an oven safe serving dish or six ramekins. Top with cheese and bacon. Broil for a couple of minutes to get a nice golden crust (watch it closely). See post for alternatives and tips for baked cauliflower mash (yum).
