Cauliflower Cutlet
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 large Head of cauliflower, steamed and finely mashed or grated 🥦
- ½ cup All-purpose flour or breadcrumbs (for the bind) 🥯
- 2 large Eggs, lightly beaten 🥚
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan or Cheddar cheese 🧀
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1 tsp Dried parsley or fresh herbs 🌿
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
- Oil for pan-frying 🍳
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Cauliflower: Steam your cauliflower until very tender, drain well, and mash it in a large bowl. 🥦🌪️✨
- Mix the Batter: Add the flour (or breadcrumbs), beaten eggs, cheese, garlic, and seasonings to the cauliflower. Mix until you have a thick, scoopable consistency. 🥣🌪️💎
- Shape the Patties: Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a round, flat patty using your hands. 📐🤝🥇
- The Extra Crunch: For an even crispier shell, you can dredge the patties in extra breadcrumbs before they hit the pan! 🍞🌪️🛡️
- Pan-Fry to Gold: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until they are a beautiful, deep golden-brown and crispy. ⏲️📈🔥
- The Masterpiece Garnish: Arrange your hot cutlets on a plate. Top with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh green herbs like chives or parsley to make the colors pop! 🎨🍦🌿
- Serve: Dig in while they are hot and crunchy! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Crispy” Secret: As shown in the photo, don’t crowd the pan! Giving each cutlet space allows the edges to get that perfect, even sear. 🍳🛡️💎
- The “Flavor” Hack: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes to the batter for a little extra southwest kick! 🌶️🎨🎯
