A delightful and creamy cauliflower bake topped with crispy bacon and melted cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect bake.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Cook the bacon on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even crispiness.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Don't overcook the cauliflower to maintain a slight crunch.
In a saucepan, melt the cream cheese over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and 2 cups of cheddar cheese until smooth.
Stir continuously to prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan.
Combine the cooked cauliflower with the cheese sauce in a mixing bowl. Add the sour cream, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon on top.
Spread the topping evenly for a consistent bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the casserole to avoid over-browning.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
