Ingredients
35 gram slices bacon
300 gram cauliflower cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/8 tsp salt
70 gram shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/3 cup sour cream
25 gram scallions, sliced
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Place bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool. (Reserve the drippings in the pan.)
Combine cauliflower, pepper, salt and the bacon drippings in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roast, stirring twice, until tender, about 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 1 cup cheese, sour cream and half the scallions in a small bowl. When the cauliflower is tender, stir the cheese mixture into the cauliflower in the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until hot, 5 to 7 minutes more.
Chop the cooled bacon. Sprinkle the hot casserole with thebacon and the remaining scallions.
