- ½ head cauliflower
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron on medium heat (about 325°F) and coat with nonstick spray.
- Cut the florets from the cauliflower and transfer to a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is minced and looks almost like rice or couscous.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl, then add the cheese, eggs, almond flour, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix together until well-blended.
- Spray the waffle maker with non-stick spray and add about ½ cup of the cauliflower mixture to the pre-heated waffle iron per serving. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown brown and crisp.
- Remove the cauliflower waffle from the waffle iron and rest for a minute on a wire rack.
- Serve with fried eggs and chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Make Ahead: You can make the batter ahead of time and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to cook the waffles, them, thaw in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours and then cook on a waffle iron.
