Ingredients:
- 1 lb Ground Sausage (uncooked)
- 12 Bacon Strips
- 2 Cups Grassfed Cheese (grated and divided in half)
- 1 Cauliflower Head (grated and divided in half)
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Spinach (finely chopped)
- 1 T Dried Parsley
- 1 T Dried Oregano
- 1 T Dried Basil
- 1 T Garlic Powder
- 1 T Onion Powder
- 1 t Dried Sage
- 1 t Dried Rosemary
- 3 Tomatoes (finely chopped)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your muffin pan with unprocessed oil or fat of choice (olive oil, butter, etc).
- In a large bowl, mix half of the cauliflower, half of the cheese, 1 egg and dried parsley. Mix well!
- Wrap one bacon strip around the inside of your greased muffin cups. Using the cauliflower mixture, make a "crust" in the bottom of your muffin cups (approximately 2 T in each cup), pressing it in firmly. Save remaining mixture for more muffins.
- In another large bowl, mix the sausage, remaining cauliflower, chopped spinach, 3 eggs, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, rosemary, tomatoes and 1 cup of cheese. Mix well!
- Spoon sausage mixture into each bacon-wrapped muffin cup. Save remaining mixture for more muffins.
- Bake on 350 for 45 minutes or longer. The top of muffins should be browned and a toothpick should come out completely dry. Remove from muffing pan, while still hot. Store in an air-tight container. Refrigerate.
Optional: You can add other ingredients, to taste: peppers, onions, mushrooms; however, it may change the consistency of the pizza muffins. I have made them with ground beef, instead of sausage, but prefer the sausage taste.
