Steps

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2Add the cauliflower florets to a large pot and cover with water. Add in the fresh garlic cloves and bring the cauliflower to a boil. Boil the cauliflower for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
3Thoroughly drain the cauliflower and garlic. Once all the water is drained, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Add in the coconut milk, salt, pepper, and ghee, and then pulse until the cauliflower is smooth and creamy. Give it a taste and add more salt and pepper if you prefer if you prefer.
4Transfer the mashed cauliflower to a mixing bowl and add 2/3s of the bacon, 4 oz of cheddar cheese, and chives. Stir until well combined and then transfer to a 9 inch oven safe baking dish.
5Top with the remaining bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Place in a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey. Remove from the oven and garnish with chives before serving.
