Do you love cheese bread but hate the calories and fat that come with it? Well this may be the recipe for you! These Cauliflower Cheese Bites are cheesy and doughy, and all without using any flour! This recipe was adapted from Blogilates.
You'll start off by taking 3 cups of cauliflower and placing it in a blender of food processor. Blend until the cauliflower becomes a smooth rice-like consistency. This should make around 1 cup of mixture. If you have a bit more, that's fine! It will still turn out great.
Place cauliflower mixture into a microwavable bowl, and microwave on high for 7 minutes. Next, add in one egg, half a teaspoon of minced garlic, half a teaspoon of basil paste, one teaspoon of dried oregano, half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste. Mix well.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375° F and serve. These bites taste great dipped in pizza sauce or ranch dressing!
