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

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.
