How to Make Savory Cauliflower and Cheesy Cakes

When you are craving something cheesy, try this low-carb snack. Cauliflower adds extra fiber and nutrients and baking gives it a light crunch. You can add garlic powder and/or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to give them an extra kick of spice.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until you get a fine texture similar to rice.

  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the cauliflower and remaining ingredients.

  4. Scoop about 1/4 cup cauliflower mixture into each muffin cup. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cakes are lightly golden on top.

I used a 10 oz. bag of riced cauliflower, 2 eggs and added red pepper flakes. This made 6 egg cups that held together well. Calories per cup about 100 made this way. I would make it again.

I ended up using 3 eggs because the head of cauliflower was large and the mixture was crumbly and didn't look like it would stick together. I had some paper liners but not enough so I used Pam spray in the muffin tin. The ones made in the paper liners stuck to the paper, so definitely use Pam spray instead. They were bland. Maybe more cheese? I'll add some garlic powder next time and maybe some green onion? The photograph shows green flecks in the cakes, but there is nothing in the recipe that is green. I made these one other time and had forgotten that they needed more seasoning, so using this review to remind me next time. :)

Use 2 eggs for sure, definitely needed for proper binding. My head of cauliflower produced 12 cakes.

Not recommended

Good idea, but it doesn't work. First, it was crumbly and didn't hold together. Probably would be better with 2 eggs. They stuck to the paper cups. Next time, I'd make them in greased muffin tins. Also, they were bland. I would add some onion and red bell pepper, along with some seasoning. Basically, didn't work at all. Not a total waste. I scraped them off the paper and refrigerated for use in a casserole tomorrow.
No, I don’t recommend
