Directions
Steps
|
1
Done
|
Place the cream cheese on the counter to allow it to get to room temperature while you prepare the rest of this dish. *Room temperature cream cheese will be easier to stir into the cauliflower later. |
|
2
Done
|
Rinse the cauliflower head in cold water. |
|
3
Done
|
On a cutting board, cut the florets from the cauliflower head. Throw away the stalk. |
|
4
Done
|
Pour 2 Tbsp of water in a Pyrex 1-quart mixing bowl. *I prefer Pyrex because they are durable and microwave safe. |
|
5
Done
|
Place the cauliflower florets in the bowl. Turn a plate (large enough to cover the bowl) upside down and set it on top of the bowl. |
|
6
Done
|
Set the bowl, covered with a plate, in the microwave and cook for 4-5 minutes. The water at the bottom of the bowl and the plate covering the bowl will steam the cauliflower. |
|
7
Done
|
When cooked, empty the cauliflower into a strainer/colander to drain any excess water. |
|
8
Done
|
Add the cauliflower, butter, bacon bits, black pepper, salt and cream cheese to a mixing bowl. |
|
9
Done
|
Using a fork, mash down on the cauliflower and cream cheese to break them down. |
|
10
Done
|
Using a wooden spoon, stir everything together until the cream cheese has evenly coated the cauliflower. And you’re done! Enjoy! *You can also add shredded cheese if you’d like.
