Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Rice the cauliflower by cutting the head into florets. Pulse the florets in a blender or food processor until it is in small crumbs. Spread out the riced cauliflower on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes and then remove from the oven. Cool completely (about 15 minutes). Remove the excess moisture by placing the cauliflower on a paper towel or kitchen towel and squeezing and twisting as much as possible.
- In a large bowl, mix together the riced cauliflower, mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Once combined it should hold together when formed.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. (see note) Place half of the cauliflower mixture into the skillet and for it into two squares, about 1/2-inch thick each. (If you have a really large skillet, you can form 4 squares using all of the mixture.)
- Cook the cauliflower bread for 7-10 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms. Then add 2 cheese slices to one half of the bread squares. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt.
- Place the "bread" slices with cheese onto a plate and then top with the other "bread" slice on top. Repeat with the other grilled cheese. Serve warm.
Notes
- If your skillet will hold only one cauliflower bread rectangle at a time you will need 4 tablespoons of butter for each half of the cauliflower mixture. It will also take another 20 minutes of cooking time.
