Cauliflower Cheese Egg Muffins
When it comes to vegetables, here is the thing, 5 plus a day is out. We should be aiming for 8-10 servings of vegetables and fruit (the majority veggies) every day.
To achieve this, veggies need to be offered at pretty much every meal and snack. These cauliflower cheese egg muffins are perfect for giving kids a veggie loaded breakfast, snack or light meal.
If your kiddos' fall into the 'picky' by nature club then, by all means, keep these muffins plain, the cauliflower pretty much disappears.
But if you want the muffins to be a bit more loud and proud when it comes to their vegetable content then add spinach leaves or tomatoes to the top for a bit of colour.
I make these egg muffins with no added salt which means they are great for baby led weaning or a baby finger food as well. I must confess though, with no added salt my husband finds them quite bland. So make sure you season them if needed for your families palate.

Looks yummy. Does this freeze well? My toddler won't eat cooked Vege but I'm sure he'll devour these.
Yes they do freeze well
I live in Ghana and cauliflower is imported and super expensive...could I replace do you think with courgette? Or broccoli?
Yes that will work, although the muffins will be green. But still fine I think
