Cheesy Cauliflower Patties

1 head cauliflower
2 large eggs
1/2 c cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 c Panko
1/2 t cayenne pepper (more of less to taste)
salt
olive oil

Cut cauliflower into florets & cook in boiling water until tender about 10 minutes. Drain. Mash the cauliflower while still warm. Stir cheese, eggs, panko, cayenne & salt to taste.

Coat the bottom of a griddle or skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Form the cauliflower mixture into patties about 3 inches across. Cook until golden brown & set, about 3 minutes per side. Keep each batch warm in the oven while you cook the rest.

This sounds really good! Unicorn has posted a recipe using cauliflower too and I've been meaning to try it. I usually don't eat it, but think I'll pick some up to try both dishes. Thanks so much for sharing Gene! I'll let you know how it comes out!

I make these all the time - a substitute for potato pancakes. But I dont use cheddar - cant have cheese because of high cholesterol but I do use parm cheese. Rather than frying them, I put them in the oven on Release alum. foil until well browned.

If you like mashed potatoes, make mashed cauiflower. Steam the cauliflower with very little water, mash while warm and add pepper, sauteed onions and about 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt. Cant tell the difference between these and mashed potatoes.

BAKING THEM ON BAKER'S SECRET PAN W/ A THIN LAYER OF COOKING OIL ON THE SHEET AND PAM ON THE TOP FLIPPING THEM LIKE PANCAKES [SAME THING FOR EGGPLANT SLICES] IS A GREAT WAY TO GO,

I love eggplant too! On my way to the grocery store. All this talk has made me hungry!

EGGPLANT REQUIRES 'SWEATING' TO TAKE OUT BITTERNESS. A LIGHT SALTING, THEN THE BITTERNESS BEADS UP, THEN YOU RINSE OFF/DRAIN THE SLICES BEFORE COOKING.

THAT I love - eggplant - NO

I make the mashed cauliflower with Greek yogurt and sauteed onions every week.

Lesa 07/08/2013

I tried the mashed cauliflower and loved it. I don't like cauliflower so...

Will try the patties next!

You say you loved the mashed cauliflower and then you say you dont like cauliflower.

Lesa 07/09/2013

I hate cauliflower, but this tasted more like potatoes. I was impressed!

unicorn23 07/10/2013

if you used the plain Greek yogurt it DOES taste like potatoes. I sautee onion till theyre well browned and mix it in, Its delicious.

Lesa 08/04/2013

I liked this so much I shared it with someone else who is trying to eat healthier. The second time I did them, they were even better. Now for the eggplant!

EAch time I make the mashed cauliflower it gets better. Just be sure there's no water left in cauliflower before mashing.
