Description
A delicious and low-carb alternative to traditional grilled cheese, made with cauliflower bread.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, about 1 1/2 lb
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese or 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble fine rice.
- Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5–7 minutes until tender.
- Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel, wrap it up, and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower with the egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a thin rectangle or square on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and golden.
- Spread softened butter on one side of each cauliflower slice and assemble the grilled cheese in a skillet.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from skillet, let rest for 1–2 minutes, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure to remove as much moisture from the cauliflower as possible for a crisp texture.
- Feel free to customize the cheese types based on your preference.
- For added flavor, mix garlic powder into the butter before spreading.
