Well…not JUST appetizers…you could also call them sides. Or ‘small plates’ if you’re being fancy.
So last weekend was the Super Bowl. As my team was not in it, I really had very little interest in watching it. But, never one to pass up a gathering of pals, I went to my friend L’s place for some snacks and the game….aka food, wine, commercials, and BEYONCE (I mean the girl KILLED it right?!).
The other day I had tried out a new recipe for cheesy cauliflower bread sticks and they were super good, so I decided to make it for the Bowl.
Grate the cauliflower
The great thing about this recipe is that its SUPER easy AND its healthy! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup raw cauliflower, grated
- 1/4 cup egg substitute (or 1 egg)
- 1 cup shredded 2% reduced fat mozzarella
- garlic (to your own tastes)
- seasonings (salt, pepper….I use Montreal Chicken Spice)
Mix grated Cauliflower, egg, and most of the cheese together. Add the spices. Spray some cooking spray on your pan and spread the mixture over it….try for a thin layer (similar to pizza dough). Bake at 350 for about 30-40 mins. Take it out, top with remaining cheese and cook for 10 minutes until cheese is melted. Then est up!
I didn’t have enough cheese so I cut up some string cheese lol…it worked okay
Spread into a thin layer.
It’ll get firmer as it bakes in the oven
Top with the melted cheese. So cheesey and delicious!
We also had some other amazing snacks
medjool dates stuffed with goat cheese, and wrapped in bacon NOM
Caramelized onion and goat cheese crostini
These crostini are AMAZING. And incredibly addictive. check out the recipe here.
I can’t wait to make these apps again. They work really well for get togethers of all kinds.
