Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket or microwave until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until it resembles a fine rice-like texture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, almond flour, beaten eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until you have a thick, cohesive batter.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the cooking surface.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter and carefully shape it into a flat, round patty. Repeat until the skillet has 2-3 patties cooking (don’t overcrowd).

Step 6

Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Flip carefully to avoid breaking.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil or butter as needed.

Step 8

Serve the Low Carb Fried Mush warm with your favorite low-carb condiments or toppings, such as sour cream, chives, or a dollop of sugar-free ketchup.
