Ingredients
- 500 g Cauliflower florets
- 150 g Cheddar cheese, grated
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 60 g Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 40 g Almond flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 30 g Butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
Step 2
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess water and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until crumbled, almost resembling rice grains.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, cream cheese, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly into the cups.
Step 6
Drizzle the melted butter over the tops of the mac and cheese bites.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bites are set.
Step 8
Allow the muffin tin to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before removing the bites.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
