Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Bites are cheesy bites of deliciousness that are packed with flavor and veggies. Great for appetizers, snacks, or a main meal; these are sure to please everyone!
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat oil in the same pot, and sauté onions for about 5 minutes.
Add in flour and stir to completely coat the onion. Stir in spices and cook, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant (about 1 minute).
Pour in about ¼ cup a2 milk. Stir well, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pot, until thick. Add a little more milk, stir into sauce, and repeat two more times until you have a thick sauce.
Add in cauliflower and stir to completely combine. Add in all but 2 tablespoons of cheese and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Whisk the egg into a small bowl. Add a spoonful of the hot cauliflower-cheese mixture and stir. Add another spoonful of mixture and stir. Pour into the pot and stir to completely combine.
Transfer to muffin tins or liners. Sprinkle with remaining two tablespoons of cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes in preheated oven. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
