Cheesy Cauliflower Sticks

Bread sticks are always a staple with Italian food ~ so this weekend when the boys wanted 'lasagna' this recipe which has long been a favorite with the daycare crew was a perfect option to pair while trying a Zucchini Lasagna for myself as well as the Cheesy Cauliflower sticks for our side instead of the traditional bread ones!

My spouse and I both really enjoyed them but the teenager turned his nose up and would not even give them a try ... one day hopefully we will stretch his palette to love his veggies too but cannot fault him because at his age I only ate corn, lettuce and ketchup as my veggies of choice!

Cheesy Cauliflower Sticks

What You Need
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 2 cups of shredded cheese ~ we like a mix of mozzarella and old cheddar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Epicure Herb or 2 gloves garlic minced and 2 tsp oregano

What You Do:
  • Wash and chop cauliflower and than place in a blender and pulse until it is a 'rice' consistency
  • Steam in microwave for 8-10 minutes
  • In a bowl beat eggs until well mixed, stir in spices, steamed cauliflower nd cheese and mix well
  • Line a baking stone or pan with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly in a square shape
  • Back for 30 minutes at 425F and than sprinkle with 1 more cup of cheese and put back in until its melted
  • Slice into garlic bread sticks.
Bakers Notes
  • You can use this as a pizza crust base as well ~ either a square pizza or shape it 'round' when you are spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake for the 30 minutes as normal than add sauce, pizza toppings and cheese and bake again for another 10-15 minutes until toppings are hot and cheese is melted.
Have an amazing day!
