Baked Cauliflower Egg Bites (No Flour, No Frying)

I love batter-dipped fried cauliflower. The crispy outside, the soft inside — comfort food at its best.

But these days, I try to skip refined flour whenever possible, and deep-frying isn’t exactly my favourite everyday cooking method either.

Still, the combination of cauliflower and eggs is too good to give up. So the question became:
How can I keep the flavour and texture — without the flour and without frying?

Without starch, the mixture would be too liquid to hold its shape… until a simple kitchen solution came to the rescue.

Enter the muffin tin.

These baked cauliflower egg bites are quick, easy, and perfect for busy days. They’re also wonderfully flexible — you can adjust the ingredients to suit your family’s taste.

And of course, one spoon of Fresh Bouillon brings everything together with deep, savoury flavour and real plant-based nourishment.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• No flour or starch

• No deep frying

• High in protein and vegetables

• Kid-friendly and customizable

• Great for lunchboxes, snacks, or a light meal

• Naturally flavourful with Fresh Bouillon

Ingredients

• 1 small head cauliflower, chopped in preferred size

• 3 eggs

• 1 tablespoon Fresh Bouillon (any flavour you like)

• ½ cup grated cheese (optional, but delicious)

• butter to grease the muffin tin

• coconut flour to dust the muffin tin

• Optional add-ins:

  • cooked bacon or ham, 1/4 cup finely chopped

  • parsley, around 1 tbsp 

  • green onions, 1/4 cup finely chopped

  • salt & pepper, spices to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C).

2. Grease a muffin tin with butter and dust with coconut flour. Use a kitchen tissue or your fingers to rub the butter onto the tin. A small sieve works best to dust a thin layer of coconut flour onto the tin. Shake off excess flour over the sink.

3. Wash and break the cauliflower into smaller pieces. Boil or steam florets until soft. Let cool.

4. Meanwhile, chop the onion and optional ingredients such as parsley very finely.

5. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, stir in the Fresh Bouillon, and spices.

6. Cut the cooked cauliflower into medium to small pieces and add it to the bowl with half of the cheese, and any optional ingredients. Mix well. Keep the second half of the cheese as a topping.

7. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, and sprinkle each muffin with 1 tsp grated Parmesan cheese or any cheese of your choice.

8. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until set and the edges start lightly golden.

9. Let cool for a few minutes before removing.
