- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Tools Needed

- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Spatula
Substitutions & Additions
- Cheese: Swap mozzarella for cheddar or provolone for a flavor twist.

How to Make Low Carb Cheesy Cauliflower Bread
Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rice your cauliflower using a food processor or hand grater. Steam or microwave the riced cauliflower for 5 minutes until soft, then cool slightly.
Step 2: Remove Moisture
Transfer the steamed cauliflower into a cheesecloth or clean towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. This step is key — the drier your cauliflower, the crispier your bread will be!
Step 3: Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything’s well incorporated and forms a sticky dough.
Step 4: Shape and Bake
Spread the mixture evenly on your prepared baking sheet — about ½-inch thick. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Step 5: Add More Cheese (Because, Why Not?)
Remove from the oven and sprinkle extra mozzarella on top. Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and delicious.
Step 6: Slice & Serve
Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into sticks or squares. Garnish with fresh parsley, and get ready for the best “bread” of your low-carb life.

Tips for Making It Perfect
- Dry cauliflower = crispy bread. Don’t skip the squeezing step!
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing for clean edges.
- Bake longer for extra crunch.
- Reheat in the oven for 5 minutes to revive leftovers.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap in parchment and freeze up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Pop in a toaster oven or skillet to bring back that crisp texture.
