• 1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds)
• 1 egg (or 2 egg whites)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided*
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• *I used shredded Locatelli Pecorino Romano
• Transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe dish or bowl.  Cover and
• cook in the microwave for 10 minutes.  Alternatively, you can steam the
• cauliflower in a steamer basket or bake it in the oven at 375 for 20
• When the cauliflower is cool, transfer it to a bowl lined with a kitchen
• towel or cheesecloth.  Bring the ends of the cloth together and squeeze
• as much liquid out of the cauliflower as you can.  I got about ½ cup
• liquid.  
• Transfer the cauliflower to a mixing bowl and add the egg, Italian
• seasoning, ½ cup cheese, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.  Mix
• paper.  Form the dough into a rectangle
• Bake in the oven 15-20 minutes until cooked.  Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the
• remaining ½ cup cheese over the top. 
• Bake another 5 minutes until cheese is melted. 
• Let cool a little bit and then cut cheesy bread into breadsticks.  Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
