They might be small, but these little cheesy cauliflower biscuits bring a burst of garlicky-cheddar flavor every time you pop them in your mouth. You can serve them as your \u201cbread basket\u201d before dinner or on a platter for a fun appetizer.<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cauliflower head, leaves removed<\/li>\n<li>3 garlic cloves, minced<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded<\/li>\n<li>2 eggs<\/li>\n<li>2 egg whites<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon kosher salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Step 1: Make Mashed Cauliflower<br \/>\n<\/strong>Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.
