Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 cup Whole30-approved cottage cheese
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, wash and cut it into small florets. Place them in a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency. Measure out 2 cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, eggs, almond flour, nutritional yeast, chopped chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Form the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter. You should be able to make about 8-10 cakes depending on the size.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rice cakes into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the rice cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the rice cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
To serve, top each rice cake with a dollop of Whole30-approved cottage cheese. Garnish with additional chives if desired.
Enjoy your Whole30 Savory Rice Cakes with Cottage Cheese warm as a satisfying and healthy meal or snack.
