Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, finely grated
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cauliflower: Wash and dry the cauliflower head, then finely grate it or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice-sized pieces. Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to avoid soggy cups.
  2. Mix the base ingredients: In a large bowl, combine grated cauliflower with beaten eggs, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until the mixture is evenly incorporated and has a sticky, cohesive texture.
  3. Prepare the muffin tin: Grease a standard-sized muffin tin generously with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cups don’t stick and develop crispy edges after baking.
  4. Fill and bake: Spoon the cauliflower mixture evenly into each muffin cup, pressing down gently to compact the mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden and eggs are fully cooked.
  5. Cool and remove: Let the egg cups cool for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin using a knife or small spatula. This resting time helps them hold together perfectly.

Notes

  • Dry the cauliflower thoroughly to prevent soggy cups.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better blending and even cooking.
  • Don’t overfill muffin cups; leave room at the top for easier baking and removal.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties for unique flavors.
  • Allow cups to cool slightly before removing from the tin for optimal structure.
