Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets, chopped
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a mini muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, then finely chop or pulse in a food processor until they resemble rice-like grains.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Mix well until the cheeses are melted and blend into the cauliflower.
Crack the egg into the mixture, then add the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and well incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into the greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top and pressing gently to pack the mixture in.
Brush the tops of each mac and cheese bite with melted butter for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy your Keto Mac and Cheese Bites!
