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 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 HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Place grated cauliflower, Cheddar cheese, egg, panko, green onion, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl. Mix until combined; mixture will be very crumbly.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Scoop up some of the cauliflower mixture using an ice cream scoop; pat into a flat patty. Gently place patty in the hot oil; reduce heat to medium. Repeat with remaining mixture. Cook until a golden brown crust forms, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and serve immediately.
