Cheesy Cauliflower “Ranch” Bites

I’m really excited to share these awesome Cheesy Cauliflower “Ranch” Bites with you. They are addictive though, so fair warning. Luckily the recipe makes 30 little bites, which will disappear quickly. This can also be easily doubled or tripled for a larger crowd. It’s great for Game Day or any gathering you might have coming up over the next year.

When I started playing with these ingredients, I never imagined how could these would taste. The crunchy shell adds a nice texture to each bite. And because you are not “cooking” anything, they essentially need to go into the oven to melt the cheese and crisp the shells, about 10 minutes. If you have a convection oven you can make several trays at once, but I would turn down the temperature by 25 degrees.

Mini fillo shells are one of the handiest and most versatile food items the kitchen. I keep them in the freezer at all times for when inspiration hits.

The cauliflower filling is mounded high over the shell, a little more than a Tablespoon is the perfect amount.

The extra sharp cheddar is in the filling and then placed on top for the ultimate cheesy taste. Green onions are then sprinkled on top. They look good enough to eat just like this.
