Cooking Time45 min

Ingredients

24 ounces cauliflower
16 tablespoons low fat cheese
10 ounces crimini mushrooms
1/2 cup scallions
6 bacon slices, cooked
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Olive oil spray

Instructions

First you'll want to chop up your cauliflower into small pieces. This will make it easier later when you go to mash them.
Next up dice up some crimini mushrooms and toss them into a heated skillet that you sprayed down with olive oil. Cook until tender.
Dice up your bacon strips and scallions.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and then toss in your cauliflower.
Once your cauliflower is tender, drain and mash! Now mix in your scallions, mushrooms and bacon.
Line your muffin tray with tin muffins cups. This will make them easier to store later.
It's time to start filling your cups! Place about 1/3 cup of your cauliflower mash in each tin. Once that is done go ahead and add a tablespoon of some of your favorite low fat cheese to each tin.
Pop the tray into a 375 degree F oven for about 20 to 30 minutes and voila…Baked Cauliflower Cups!
