¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup plain yogurt

Provided by á-6184

Number Of Ingredients 12

SAUCE:
1 cauliflower
Water
7 ounces cheddar, cut into sticks
12 ounces bacon, sliced
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika powder
Salt
Pepper
1 cup low moisture mozzarella, for the topping
Fresh dill, for garnishing

Steps:

  • Add the cauliflower to a water-filled deep pot over high heat and bring it to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes. Place the cooked cauliflower on the work surface and bore deep holes in it using a cylindrical cutter. We made 13 of them. Insert the Cheddar sticks into the holes. Line a medium bowl with the bacon slices. Do that so that they radiate from the bottom center of the bowl upwards to its rim. Place the stuffed cauliflower in the bacon-lined bowl. For the sauce: Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, and paprika powder to a smaller bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix. Cover the cauliflower with this sauce using a kitchen brush. Wrap it with the bacon slices. Transfer the wrapped cauliflower on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and bake for 50 minutes at 320⁰F/160⁰C. Remove from oven and add the mozzarella on top. Bake for 10 minutes at 360⁰F/180⁰C. Serve garnished with fresh dill.
