Cauliflower and Cheese Bites
Cauliflower and Cheese Bites
These Cauliflower & Cheese Bites are the ultimate easy finger food—perfect for baby-led weaning from 6 months+ and toddlers. Soft, cheesy and packed with veggie goodness, they’re ideal for little hands learning to self-feed while still being full of flavour the whole family will enjoy.
Made with simple ingredients like cauliflower and cheddar, these bites are a great way to introduce vegetables in a way that actually gets eaten (because let’s be honest… cheese helps 😅). The soft texture makes them gentle on gums, while the shape is perfect for grabbing, dipping and exploring new foods.
They’re brilliant for lunch, dinner or even batch-cooking ahead for busy days—just reheat and serve when you need something quick and stress-free. Serve with veggie sticks or a simple dip for an easy, balanced meal that takes the pressure off.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C and grease or line two 12-hole muffins trays with cases
In a food processor, blitz the chopped cauliflower until it becomes the texture of rice
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large bowl and mix with the cheeses, herbs, egg and garlic
Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cases - use a spoon to press the mixture down so that it is packed in tightly. Make sure that you fill each case to the top, as they will not rise
Bake your bites in the oven for 45 minutes
Serve once cooled.
