Preheat oven to 375 F and generously coat the cups of a muffin pan with oil.
Defrost cauliflower (24 Ounces) until no longer frozen.
Wrap defrosted cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze to release as much liquid as possible. Continue squeezing until all the water has been released.
Add cauliflower “pulp” to food processor, along with eggs (2), salt (1/2 teaspoon) and Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon) and blend until smooth.
Spoon the cauliflower combo into your prepared muffin pan, and press down with the back of your spoon for an even layer.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. You'll know they're done when the top becomes golden and the pizzas seem firm.
Remove from oven, and crank the heat up to a broil.
Top each mini pizza with sauce, cheese and pepperonis.
Place back in the oven and bake until the cheese melts -- this will take about 3-5 minutes, but watch carefully as ingredients will burn at this temperature.
Allow the bites to cool slightly before removing from the muffin pan. I find this is easiest to do with a spoon, by tracing around the edge of each muffin and scooping it out.
Serve warm, and enjoy!

You can also use raw/fresh cauliflower (not frozen), by steaming it in a medium pot with a few inches of water until it's tender. Allow it to cool before squeezing the water from the cauliflower.
If you don't have mini pepperonis, use and apple corer to cut your full sized pepperonis into smaller pieces.
