Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
Transfer the cooled cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step helps prevent soggy patties.
Step 3
Place the cauliflower in a large mixing bowl and mash it with a fork or potato masher until broken into small, rice-like pieces.
Step 4
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Using your hands, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make approximately 8-10 patties.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Place the patties in the hot skillet in a single layer, leaving space between them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the cauliflower cheese patties warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. They pair well with a dipping sauce like sour cream or marinara.
