Notes
NET CARBS: 5 per serving
Make sure you roast the cauliflower, it makes a huge difference.
You can use a bag of pre-shredded cheddar cheese, but a lot of people swear by freshly grating it themselves.
You can add any meat or veggie to it.
If you like leftovers, I recommend doubling the recipe, it’s even better the next day.
