I love having sandwiches but I don’t like to eat the bread all the time. This recipe gives me a delicious alternative to bread so now I can make my sandwich and eat it too!
Ingredients
• Parchment paper
• Nonstick cooking spray
• Cheesecloth
• 1 medium cauliflower head, cut into bite-sized pieces (or 3 cups cauliflower rice)
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• ¼ tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450º F.
- Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat with spray. Set aside.
- Place half of cauliflower in food processor; pulse until cauliflower is chopped into pieces about the size of rice. Repeat with the other half. Place in microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave cauliflower on high for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cooked.
- Place cauliflower on cheesecloth, in small batches; squeeze dry. (No cheesecloth? Use a heavy-duty paper towel.) Don’t skip this step —cauliflower needs to be dry.
- Combine cauliflower, egg, cheese, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well.
- Place cauliflower mixture onto baking sheet in four even portions. Form into squares.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden. Cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing from baking sheet
