Ingredients
-
- 2 cups cauliflower rice (or a 10-ounce bag of frozen cauliflower rice)
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, we did not use salt)
- 1 lightly beaten large or extra-large egg
METHOD:
- While the cauliflower is being prepared, if you are using frozen cauliflower rice, cook it according to the directions on the box and then let it to cool.
- If you are using fresh cauliflower, first use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower florets until they have the consistency of rice. Cook the cauliflower rice in the microwave for about five minutes, then allow it to cool.
- Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Prepare a muffin tray by lightly greasing it or by lining it with muffin liners.
- To combine the components:
- The cauliflower rice, chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt (if used) should be mixed together in a big bowl containing all of the ingredients.
- When all of the ingredients are well incorporated, add the egg that has been softly beaten and continue mixing.
- Prepare the muffin tin by filling it with:
- Make sure that the mixture is distributed equally across the compartments of the muffin tray, and fill each compartment about three-quarters of the way.
- The muffins will be able to maintain their cohesiveness if you press the ingredients down firmly.
- Bake the Muffins: Place the muffins in an oven that has been warmed and bake them for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until they have a golden brown colour and are firm in the centre.
- Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling entirely. After that, you may finally serve them.
