Cauliflower Patties



5 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 lb.)
1 cup shredded cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Place cauliflower in a food processor. Process until finely grated. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and microwave on High for 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess moisture. Return to the bowl and stir in cheese, egg and salt until thoroughly combined. Roll into large balls and form into patties.  Repeat with the remaining batter, leaving about 1 inch between each one.  Bake until browned and crispy around the edges, about 25 minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings or use to make a breakfast sandwich.  Makes 10


Comment:  These are delicious!   I found a recipe for Cauliflower English Muffins that required using a biscuit cutter to form the patties.  Didn't have one so I used my hands.  The texture reminds me of grits.  The taste is similar to grits with a touch of sweetness.  These would actually work great served with an egg on top.  I'm going to use them in place of bread to make an open face burger.  I really believe it will be perfect.
