Cauliflower Crust Egg Cups Food

CAULIFLOWER HASH BROWN EGG CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230C | 350F Lightly spray a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking oil spray (or grease with butter), wipe over excess with a paper towel and set aside.
• Pulse the cauliflower in two batches for about 30-50 seconds until a fine 'rice' is formed. It's ok if there are a few bigger pieces in there. (Be careful not to over process or the cauliflower will form a raw puree.)
• Measure out 3 cups (480g or 17oz in weight) of the cauliflower rice into a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 8 minutes or until soft. Alternatively, lightly steam over a pot of boiling water or in a vegetable steamer until soft. Remove and allow to cool for a good 5 minutes before handling.
• Using paper towels, an old tea towel or a cheesecloth, squeeze out as much liquid as you can until hardly any liquid can be squeezed out. (It's easier to wrap the cauliflower in the towel (or cloth) and squeeze it into a ball over the sink. Less mess)
• Transfer back into your bowl (make sure there's no liquid in it), and add the whisked egg, cheeses, salt and garlic powder. Divide the mixture into each muffin hole and firmly press them with your fingertips to create a 'nest' or cup.
• Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted, the cups are golden and the edges are browned. Remove from the oven; break the eggs into each cup; season with salt and pepper; return to the oven and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
• Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before handling them, or they may fall apart. Lightly slide a knife around the sides of each cup. Using a fork, gently lift one side first to make sure they're not sticking to the bottom, and lift out of the pan.
• Garnish with red chilli flakes and parsley (optional) or leave as is.

CAULIFLOWER CRUST EGG CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (200°C).
• Using a food processor or a cheese grater, grate the cauliflower until fine or "riced."
• Transfer the riced cauliflower to a large microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle with salt and microwave for 5 minutes. This will steam the cauliflower to help you remove the moisture.
• Allow cauliflower to cool and transfer into a second bowl lined with a thin towel (cheesecloth and paper towels will also work). Wrap the cauliflower tightly and squeeze out the liquid. You may need to switch towels to ensure as much liquid has been removed as possible.
• Return the cauliflower to your large bowl and add olive oil, garlic powder, onion, parmesan, salt, pepper, and 2 of the eggs. Combine well.
• Line a lightly greased muffin tin with the cauliflower mixture, using your fingers to press it firmly into the bottom and sides, creating a crust.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
• Pour the remaining whisked eggs evenly into the cauliflower cups, then add toppings of your choice. We used tomatoes and basil, spinach and mushrooms, and broccoli and cheddar cheese.
• Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving.
• Enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor to a fine snowy powder (you should have about 2 1/2 cups). Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a clean, dry kitchen towel and allow to cool.
• When cool enough to handle, wrap the cauliflower in the towel and wring out as much moisture as possible, transferring to a second towel if necessary. In a large bowl, stir together the cauliflower, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, egg and 1 cup of the mozzarella until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and press into a 10-inch round. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven and top with the Spicy Pizza Sauce and remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 10 minutes more. Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving.
• For the salad: Meanwhile, add the greens to a large bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, baslsamic and salt and pepper to taste in a measuring cup. Pour over the greens and toss. Top with Parmesan shavings.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil, throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir. Cook until the onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste and stir. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool, then puree the sauce.

DAIRY FREE CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone in the oven, or baking sheet if you don't have a pizza stone. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a cutting board, place a large piece of parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking oil or brush the parchment with olive oil.
• Wash and throughly dry a small head of cauliflower. Don't get one the size of your head unless you are planning on making 2 pizzas. Cut off the florets, you don't need much stem. Just stick with the florets. Pulse in your food processor for about 30 seconds, until you get powdery snow like cauliflower. See above photo. You should end up with about 3 cups cauliflower "snow". Place the cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cover. Microwave for 4 minutes. Dump cooked cauliflower onto a clean tea towel and allow to cool for a bit before attempting the next step.
• Once cauliflower is cool enough to handle, wrap it up in the dish towel and wring the water out of it. You want to squeeze out as much water as possible. This will ensure you get a chewy pizza like crust instead of a crumbly mess.
• Dumped cauliflower into a bowl. Now add all your spices, your almond meal, your nutritional yeast (if using), and your olive oil. Mix the mixture to incorporate all the ingredients. Now add your egg and mix away again. Hands tend to work best.
• Once mixed together, use your hands to form the dough into a crust on your oiled parchment paper. Pat it down thoroughly, you want it nice and tightly formed together. Don't make it too thick or thin either.
• Using a cutting board slide the parchment paper onto your hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown and the edges crisp up. Remove from oven.

KETO CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a quarter sheet tray with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil. Set aside.
• Toss together the cauliflower pieces and 1 teaspoon salt. Wrap the cauliflower in a kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Put the dried cauliflower in a large bowl and add in the eggs, mozzarella, flour, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, granulated garlic and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Mix the ingredients together to thoroughly combine. The mixture should hold together when you squeeze it in your hand. Evenly and firmly press the cauliflower into the prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula divide the crust in half horizontally and press the dough to either side so there is a 1/4-inch of space between the two crusts. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is brown around the edges and set.
• Remove the crust from the oven and, using the parchment paper, flip the crust over and then remove the parchment paper. Place the crust back in the oven and cook an additional 5 minutes or until the bottom begins to brown as well.
• Top the crusts with your desired toppings and bake again in the oven until finished. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
