Ingredients
Serves 24
QuantityIngredientAdd
5 c. Hy-Vee Short Cuts cauliflower rice
1 Hy-Vee large egg, lightly beaten
1 ⅓ c. finely shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
½ tsp. Hy-Vee dried basil
¼ tsp. dried rosemary, crushed

Things To Grab

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat 24 (1-3/4-inch) muffin cups with cooking spray; set aside.

    2. Place cauliflower into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH about 8 minutes or until tender, stirring once or twice. If necessary, pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Cool. Add egg, 1 cup cheese, basil, rosemary and salt to cauliflower; stir to combine. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each prepared muffin cup. Press evenly onto the bottoms and up the sides of cups. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until crusts are golden, edges are browned and centers are set. Remove from oven.

    3. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon roasted red pepper and 1/4 teaspoon green onion onto each muffin cup. Top each with a rounded teaspoon of cheese and 3 pepperoni slices. Bake 2 to 3 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Carefully remove from muffin cups. Serve warm with Tomato Pizza Sauce for dipping, if desired.
