OH SO...CHEESY ORGANIC CAULIFLOWER BREADSTICKS!

INGREDIENTS
·  4 cups of riced cauliflower (about 1 large head of organic cauliflower)
·  4 eggs
·  2 cups of your favorite cheese
·  3 tsp oregano
·  4 cloves garlic, tsp of minced
·  salt and pepper to taste
·  1 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese (for topping)
DIRECTIONS
1.  Preheat oven to 425 F degrees. Prepare 2 pizza dishes or a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
      2.  Make sure your cauliflower is roughly chopped in florets. Add the florets to your food processor and pulse until cauliflower resembles rice or hand chop or grind.
      3.  Place the cauliflower in a pot with a little water and bring to a quick boil for about 2 minutes. Place the cooled cauliflower in a large bowl and add the 4 eggs, 2 cups of cheese, oregano, garlic and salt and pepper. Mix everything together.
      4.  Separate the mixture in half and place each half onto the prepared baking sheets and shape into either a pizza crust, or a rectangular shape for the breadsticks.
      5.  Bake the crust (no topping yet) for about 25 minutes or until nice and golden. Don't be afraid the crust is not soggy at all. Once golden, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and put back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until cheese has melted.
      6.  Slice and serve with your favorite organic marinara sauce
NOTES
I don’t recommend a microwave, it kills so many of the good enzymes in our food. If you have no other method, use it for just long enough to make the riced cauliflower soft.
