•In a medium bowl, stir together cauliflower, eggs,cheese, and seasonings

2. I just made this and it's deeeelicious!

Suggestion: Squeeze the water out of the cauliflower after you rice it.

I followed this very similar recipe:

They sure take a lot of pride in seeing which of them can eat the worst stuff.

Never heard of this, so I went looking.  Depending on the talent of your food stylist photographer, you can come up with something quite attractive:

However that above is using full fat cheese and a hell of a lot of it.  (Which I have no problem with). 

Some of the other photos were very unappetizing.  These were the low fat versions.  Pale, sickly, and pathetic.

Most people in the reviews said that they fell apart, you couldn't dip them like that, until were cold.  Mmmmm.

As a veggie lover this is right up my alley.   

Brussels Sprout cake [?] This cannot be what we out side Asia call cake.    Would need bacon, lots of it. lemon juice, eggs perhaps some rice or rice flour and cheese .     

Darn anyone got a recipe for this interesting concox-ion.      Perhaps one of us can if we experiment win the Pillsbury bake off and $1,000.000 bucks.

That is what I have read about them too. The youtube cooking videos on how to make these makes it look easy. The reviews on the other hand have the same complaints of them crumbling apart or being soggy.
