Crispy cauliflower cheese and bacon cups: perfect for snacking, side dish, or lunchbox.
Ingredients:
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 125.00 ml panko breadcrumbs
  • 500g cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 250ml Cooking Cream
  • 125.00 gm almond meal
  • 187.50 ml grated reduced-fat tasty cheese
  • 2 shortcut bacon rashers, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 220C (200C fan-forced).
  • Grease a 12-hole (1/3-cup-capacity) muffin pan with half of the melted butter. Add 2 teaspoons of breadcrumbs to each hole, then shake to coat the base and sides. Remove any excess crumbs.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup of cauliflower florets, then finely chop the rest in a food processor. Combine the chopped cauliflower with egg, cream, almond meal, and 1/2 cup of cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then distribute the mixture evenly into the pan cavities.
  • Slice the cauliflower, mix it with bacon, thyme, and 1/4 cup of cheese. Spread this mixture over the cauliflower cheese in the pan. Brush some butter on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and firm to touch.
  • Let the dish rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Gently remove the cups from the pan using a butter knife. Sprinkle with extra thyme before serving (refer to notes).
