Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded/shaved
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and with parchment paper/a silicone mat, line a baking sheet.
- By cutting the head into florets, rice the cauliflower. until it is in small crumbs, pulse the florets in a blender or food processor. On the baking sheet, spread out the riced cauliflower.
- Roast for TWENTY minutes and then remove from the oven. (about FIFTEEN minutes)Cool completely. By placing the cauliflower on a paper towel or kitchen towel, remove the excess moisture and squeezing and twisting as much as possible.
- Mix together the pepper, mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and riced cauliflower in a large bowl. It should hold together when formed, once combined.
- Over medium heat, place a large skillet and melt TWO tablespoons of butter. Into the skillet, place half of the cauliflower mixture and for it into two squares, about 1/2-inch thick each. (You can form 4 squares using all of the mixture if you have a really large skillet.)
- For 7-10 minutes, cook the cauliflower bread on each side until a nice crust forms. Then to one half of the bread squares, add 2 cheese slices. Cover with a lid and let cheese melt.
- Onto a plate, place the “bread” slices with cheese and then top with the other “bread” slice on top. Do same with the other grilled cheese.
- Serve warm.
