Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Skillet
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Cauliflower
- 1 head cauliflower or 4 cups riced cauliflower
Cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved
Eggs
- 2 large eggs
Herbs and Spices
- ½ tablespoon garlic, minced
- ½ tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- ½ tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a whole head of cauliflower, remove leaves and stem, then chop into florets. Steam until tender, about 5-7 minutes. If using riced cauliflower, skip steaming.
- Step 2: Let the cauliflower cool, then place in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Step 3: Transfer drained cauliflower to a mixing bowl. Add mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Step 4: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the mixture into two large or four smaller bread-like shapes, about ½ inch thick.
- Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Step 6: Once baked, let cool slightly. For each sandwich, top one piece of cauliflower bread with two slices of cheddar cheese and place another piece on top.
- Step 7: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Grill sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until cheese melts and bread is crispy.
- Step 8: Remove from skillet, let cool for a minute, cut in half, and serve.
Notes
Make sure to squeeze out as much water from the cauliflower as possible for a crispy texture. You can add spices like paprika for extra flavor.
