Ingredients
1/2 large head cauliflower, coarsely chopped1/3 cup sharp or medium cheddar or even mozarella, grated1/4 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese2 Tbsp almond flour1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp Spike Seasoning or your favorite herbsfresh-ground black pepper to taste1 egg
Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a Mini Muffin Pan with non-stick spray.
Cut off the leaves of the cauliflower, but use most of the inner core part. Coarsely chop the cauliflower, place in a micro-wave safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high until soft. Mine took about 9 minutes.
Let cool slightly & then drain off any water. Using a pastry cutter, chop up cauliflower into "rice pieces".
Add the sharp cheddar, coarsely grated Parmesan, almond flour, salt, Spike Seasoning (if using), and fresh-ground black pepper. Stir until ingredients are well-combined. Add the egg and stir until the ingredients are mostly coated with egg. (You might be tempted to add another egg, but don't.)
Scoop out rounded spoonfuls (about 1 tbsp) of the mixture and place it in the mini muffin pan. Bake 15 minutes. Carefully turn each tot over in the muffin tin and bake 10-15 minutes more or until tots are browned on both sides. Serve hot.
