Cauliflower Pizza Bites (a diet miracle!)

I pinned these on pinterest and then chased down the recipe, subsequently making my own modifications for max deliciousness. They have approx. 8 calories each, which goes up only slightly with the addition of the delicious turkey pepperoni slice on the top!


1 head cauliflower (cut off the core)
1/4 c egg whites
1 c cottage cheese
1/8 c parmesean
Granulated garlic (to taste)
Turkey pepperoni



I cut the cauliflower into pieces and then put it in the food processor, until it crumbled to a course powder.  Then, I stirfried it in a skillet, adding in the garlic and a PAM, until translucent.  After mixing with the rest of the ingredients, I scooped it into a mini muffin tin and pressed it down with a spoon, sprinkling some parmesean on top and pressing in a turkey pepperoni on each.    I make a double batch, and in between some of the liquids came out of the mixture in the bowl so I had to mix it all together and let it sit for a minute before making the second batch.

The pizza bites were baked for 25-30 minutes or until the bottoms turned almost black and they were pretty dry.  Even blackened they tasted perfect. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing.

We keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge.  They are best warmed up in the oven, but are still pretty good microwaved.
