CAULIFLOWER GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, eggs, cheese, garlic powder, almond flour, baking powder. Mix with a large spoon until everything is thoroughly combined.
• Pour contents of the cauliflower bread batter onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a spatula, spread and smooth out until you have an oval or rectangle that is 1/2 inch thick. The width and length is up to you. I did an oval shape that measured 11 inches for the large diameter and 7 1/2 inches for the small diameter.
• Place cauliflower bread in oven and cook for about 25 minutes or until edges turn brown and top is golden. When the bread is done, it should also easily come off the parchment paper.
• Add butter, oil and garlic to a small saucepan and heat on the stove just until butter is melted. Brush garlic butter mixture onto bread, making sure to get all the minced garlic evenly spread over surface of the bread. Sprinkle 1 tsp parsley evenly over bread. Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over bread.
• Place an oven-safe cooling rack on top of your baking sheet and carefully place cauliflower bread on top of the cooling rack. Place bread into oven and set your oven to low broil. Cook about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and begins to brown and edges of the cauliflower bread crisp up.
• Remove bread from oven. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Slice and serve.

CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan 3/4 full of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt, the sugar, and the cauliflower and boil until tender, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Drain, rinse under running cold water, and leave to drain.
• In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 4-5 Tb of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the crumbs and toss them constantly until they are evenly toasted, browned, and crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, turn the crumbs once or twice, and remove them from the pan. Do not allow the garlic to brown; it should be cooked only enough to flavor the crumbs.
• Heat the remaining 2-3 Tb oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and mash and break it up a bit as it lightly browns in the oil and become slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Do not allow the cauliflower to become crisp and dark.
• Add the crispy garlic crumbs to the pan and toss them with the cauliflower over medium-low heat, mashing some of the cauliflower and allowing some of it to keep its shape, about 5 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.
