Ingredients

3 slice – 6" long bacon
1 medium – head – 5" to 6" diameter cauliflower
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp, grated parmesan cheese, dry (grated)
½ teaspoon salt, sea salt
¼ cup, grated cheddar cheese
¼ cup, grated mozzarella cheese
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Dice the cauliflower into florets and add to a medium saucepan. Cover the florets with water and bring up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and soft enough to mash.
While the cauliflower is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium/high heat. Add the bacon slices. Cook the bacon through until crisp and golden. Set aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop the bacon.
Drain the cooked cauliflower completely. Add the butter, mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper to the pan with the hot cauliflower. Use a potato masher to mash until smooth and soft. If you would prefer a smoother consistency, you can also blend the mash. Transfer the mash to a serving bowl. Top the mash with the chopped cooked bacon pieces. Serve hot with your preferred Keto mains.
