Cauliflower Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese sandwich that you can pick up and eat like a real one.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, or 1 bag fresh cauliflower rice
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 thick slices of white cheddar cheese (or ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. In a medium pot, fill with about ½ inch of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to a boil.
  3. If using whole cauliflower, cut into florets. Place florets in a food processor and pulse until crumbs about half the size of a grain of rice.
  4. After water boils, add steamer and then cauliflower. Reduce heat to simmer. Steam for about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove pot of cauliflower from heat, uncover. Let cool for a few minutes.
  6. Transfer steamed cauliflower to a mesh strainer. Push out as much water as possible with a rubber spatula.
  7. In a medium bowl, add cheese, seasoning, and cauliflower. Stir to combine. Add egg. Stir again until smooth paste forms.
  8. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Place onto large baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper. Using your knuckles and fingers, shape into square bread slices about ⅓ inch thick.
  9. Bake cauliflower bread for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes.
  10. Using a good spatula, carefully slide cauliflower bread off of parchment paper.
  11. Grate or slice cheese. Preheat a large pan with butter over medium.
  12. Reduce heat to medium-low. Place one slice of bread in preheated pan, add slice or shredded cheese. Then top with another slice of bread. Butter the top of the sandwich. Cook for a few minutes until cheese is starting to melt. Flip. Cook for a minute until the cheese is completely melted.
