Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until you achieve a rice-like texture.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 5 minutes until softened. Let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Once cooled, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture from the cauliflower rice.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, almond flour, eggs, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a patty. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 7
Bake the cauliflower cakes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they become golden brown, flipping them halfway through the baking time.
Step 8
While the cakes are baking, prepare the cream cheese spread. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with chopped chives and lemon zest until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 9
Once the cauliflower cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Step 10
Spread a generous amount of cream cheese mixture over each cake before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with additional chives if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-carb rice cakes with cream cheese!
