Ingredients
  

  • 1 large Head Cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 6 slices Cooked Bacon, crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook cauliflower florets for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain very well and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add heavy cream and cream cheese. Whisk until smooth and bubbling lightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in 1.5 cups cheddar and the gruyere until the sauce is silky and thick.
  • Fold the cauliflower into the sauce until every piece is coated, then transfer to a greased baking dish.
  • Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and the crumbled bacon.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until bubbly, then broil 1-2 minutes for a golden crust. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
