Mac and cheese is one of my favorite dishes. Unfortunately I can no longer have the high carb version. So I created this low carb version using cauliflower. It’s perfect with BBQ chicken, perfect combo (lol) Here is the recipe:
1 large head of cauliflower
1/2 vegetable stock cube+ 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon of butter
1 tsp of salt
2 eggs
1/2 tsp of Dijon mustard
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cups of sour cream
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
Method:
In a pot of boiling water add the vegetable stock cube and 1/2 teaspoon salt (this adds more flavor to the cauliflower) then add the cauliflower, steam or bowl the cauliflower for about 10-12 minutes. Drain the cauliflower. Add the cauliflower to a medium bowl and mix in the butter with the cauliflower then set aside. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, Dijon mustard, heavy cream, sour cream, salt and black pepper and cayenne pepper. Combine the cream mixture with the cauliflower florets. Add the 1 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese and combine. Top with a 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Enjoy~
Sorry I am only now seeing your comment Janie, I hope you and hubby are still loving the low carb lifestyle:)
Jay i have tried several of your recipes, tonight the chicken wings. I have not been disappointed yet. Thank you for your recipes their delicious and I usually have all the ingredients already. My husband found your site doing atkins. We find something almost daily to fix.
Diced ham sounds delish!
I have made this several times now and it is very good. Last time I put diced ham in it. Highly Recommend!!!!!
Thank you Johnny. I appreciate you taking to time to post the nutritional info for this recipe. Bacon would be fantastic!
Loved the recipe. I did a macro breakdown, and for this entire recipe which is 1244 grams total in weight there are 1670 calories, 39g of net carbs, 121g of fat, 86g of protein. I did a serving of 311 grams which was quite a bit and the macro breakdown was 417 total calories, 10g of net carbs, 30g of fat, and 21g of protein. I did this using MyNetDiary pro. Hope it helps. GREAT RECIPE! I’m trying to figure out a way to make it a little thicker and crunchier without messing up the great macros too bad. Maybe some bacon bits……idk tho. THANKS AGAIN!
Sorry Barbara, Will post the break down, working on it now.
What is the calorie brake down you never posted it. need carbs and serving size, number of servings? thanks
