Low Carb Cheesy Cauliflower Bread Sticks

Bread. The heavens supervised its creation, and just when we think it cant get any better, top it with cheese and BOOOOOM. Love. 

As heavenly and lovely as bread sticks are,the carbs are a little too much sometimes. 

Ive heard about cauliflower bread, but Ive been hesitant to try it - mostly because Im lazy and it seems time consuming. However, the other night I was desperately craving some cheese bread dipped in marinara, I had three different kinds of cheese in the fridge and a head of cauliflower. Maybe it was a sign, or maybe I was just hungry enough to work through my laziness... Whatever it was, I tried a recipe for cheesy cauliflower bread sticks and it was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be.

Cheesy Cauliflower Bread Sticks

1 large head cauliflower
4 eggs 

2 cups mozzarella, shredded

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp Italian seasoning
Topping: 

1 cup mozzarella, shredded

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup Parmesan shredded

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Chop cauliflower into medium sized florets. Rice cauliflower (place in a blender or a food processor and use a low-medium speed or a chop setting). Your cauliflower should look like rice, and not have any large pieces in it. Remove from food processor and place in a microwave safe dish. Cover and microwave for 10 minutes. Add eggs, 2 cups mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well using a fork.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I was out of parchment paper so I used aluminum foil. I was still able to get remove them, but it was kind of tough. Spread mixture onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, top with additional mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan, and bake for another 5 minutes. 

Slice with a pizza cutter and serve with warm tomato sauce or marinara.

This makes about 6 servings of 2 bread sticks each. Calories: 297, Net Carbs: 7 grams, Protein: 26 grams

I had leftovers and I was kind of nervous to reheat them, but they were actually even better reheated. I just laid them flat side by side and microwaved them for about a minute and a half. They were awesome!
