Last week, I tried a new recipe, Cauliflower Pizza Bites.
Ingredients
2 cups grated cauliflower
1/4 cup egg whites
1 cup 1% Cottage Cheese
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp garlic salt
pinch black pepper
dash hot sauce
36 slices pepperoni
Directions
Preheat oven to 450. Spray muffin trays with cooking spray.
In a skillet, saute' grated cauliflower in 1 T. butter - about 5 - 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
Blend remaining ingredients in food processor until smooth.
Pour blended ingredients into the bowl with the cauliflower and stir to combine well.
Spoon mixture into muffin tins. Press down firmly with a slice of pepperoni.
Bake at 450 for 25 - 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for about 5 - 10 minutes before removing.
I used pizza sauce for dipping.
Nutritional info, according to Fitday, is 297 calories, 21 carbs, 45 protein - for the entire recipe. If you divide that by 36 servings - 8.2 calories, 0.5 carbs, 1.25 protein per bite.
Now, for my review. They were okay, just okay. I was really expecting them to have more of a pizza taste {I am a huge pizza fan, and I'm really missing it!!}, this recipe didn't satisfy my craving for pizza at all. It was a change from the regular low carb choices, but again, they were just okay. What will keep me from probably ever making them again, was the clean up! I had to soak the muffin tins forever, then scrub and scrub and scrub to get them clean. UGH!

Hi there!
My son is allergic to dairy. do you think a mozzerella soy substitute may work in lieu of the cottage cheese or do you have any other suggestions?
