Ingredients You’ll Need
Before we get cookin’, let’s gather our cast of characters. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for the health-conscious)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: crispy bacon bits for some rebellious flavor
Instructions: Let the Magic Happen!
Alright, time to get those chef hats on! Follow these simple steps for a cauliflower wonderland:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). No, that’s not the temperature of your last Zoom meeting; it’s the perfect baking temp!
- Cut your cauliflower into quarters, remove the core, and steam it until tender (about 10-15 minutes). You want it soft enough to mesh, but not mushy enough to become cauliflower soup!
- Once steamed, mash that cauliflower like you mean it! Add in the sour cream, garlic, half of the cheese, salt, pepper, and half of the green onions. Mix it up like it’s the last dance at a family reunion!
- Transfer your mixture into a baking dish or individual ramekins if you’re feeling fancy. Top with the remaining cheese and green onions. If you’re feeling extra, sprinkle some rebellious bacon bits on top.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is all melty and bubbly. It’s going to be hard to resist the delightful aroma filling your kitchen!
Once it’s finished baking, serve hot, and watch the smiles (and surprised faces) as everyone digs in. Who knew cauliflower could be this much fun? Enjoy your Twice-Baked Cauliflower masterpiece!
