Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400'F. Liberally coated mini muffin pans with butter, ghee, or coconut oil.
Place 2 cups of cauliflower “rice” into medium pot. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and 2 TBS water. Cover and steam on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until soft. Stir occasionally. Uncover, remove from heat, and allow to cool a bit.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, coconut flour, salt, and garlic. Add the cooked cauliflower and mix to combine.
Fold in bacon pieces.
Fill your mini muffin pans ¾ full of the mixture. Press down with the back of a spoon to get it in there good.
Bake for 20 minutes, until your mini cauliflower bites come out golden and delicious.
