Ingredients
- 300 grams Cauliflower
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Chop the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, almond flour, beaten eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined into a dough-like consistency.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Mould each portion into round, flat rice cake shapes, about 1 cm thick.
Step 6
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the rice cakes in batches, about 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Add more oil as needed.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked rice cakes to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 more minutes to firm up.
Step 8
While the rice cakes are baking, in a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chopped chives, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
Step 9
Once the rice cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese mixture on top.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly rice cakes with cream cheese!
