- Step 4: Mix the Ingredients – In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower with eggs, cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Step 5: Portion the Mixture – Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Step 6: Bake the Muffins – Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the middle.
- Step 7: Cool and Serve – Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
