    Use 2 eggs for sure, definitely needed for proper binding. My head of cauliflower produced 12 cakes.

  • Not recommended

    Good idea, but it doesn't work. First, it was crumbly and didn't hold together. Probably would be better with 2 eggs. They stuck to the paper cups. Next time, I'd make them in greased muffin tins. Also, they were bland. I would add some onion and red bell pepper, along with some seasoning. Basically, didn't work at all. Not a total waste. I scraped them off the paper and refrigerated for use in a casserole tomorrow.
