Low Carb Baked Mashed Cauliflower & Cheese Bites (Gluten Free)

Tasty cauliflower medallions. 

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
water
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 eggs
1/2 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt
fresh ground black pepper to taste
2 egg whites
non-stick cooking spray
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese for garnish

Method:
Preheat oven to 400*. Rinse cauliflower, cut or break apart and place in a medium glass bowl. Add 1 cup of water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Use a knife to poke a small slice in plastic. Microwave for 10 minutes, or until tender.

Carefully drain water and place cauliflower in a food processor or powerful blender. Add garlic. Pulse until mashed and well blended. Transfer to a large bowl. Add yogurt, eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Place egg whites in a small bowl by themselves. Beat egg whites with electric mixer until stiff. Next, use mixer to blend  the ingredients in the large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold egg whites into cauliflower mixture. Lightly coat 1 regular sized muffin pan with non-stick spray. Spoon cauliflower mixture evenly into the 12 sections. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of extra cheese. 

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Makes 12.
