TODDLER RECIPE: CAULIFLOWER CHEESE CAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160 fan/gas 4 and line a baking tray with foil. Brush with a little oil. Put the cauliflower in a steamer over boiling water and cook for around 8 mins or until tender. Allow to cool.
• Put the bread into a food processor and blitz to crumbs. Add the cauliflower, egg, grated cheese, chives and a little black pepper and pulse until you have a chunky consistency.
• Form into 8 patties. Arrange them on the baking tray and cook for 20 mins until golden and starting to crisp around the edges.

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER CAKES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• 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 butter and 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.

LOW-CARB CHEESY CAULIFLOWER GRATIN BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the cauliflower for about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Whisk in the flour until well combined with the butter and it forms a brown paste. Pour in the hot half-and-half and keep whisking until it starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and season with salt and white pepper. Add in the Parmesan and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere. Keep whisking.
• Spread about 1/2 cup of the mixture on the bottom of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Place the cauliflower on top and spoon the rest of the sauce on top. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat and stir in the parsley. Drizzle the parsley butter over the cauliflower and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere.
• Bake until the top of the gratin is browned, about 30 minutes. (My advice would be to check halfway through, as ovens vary.) Serve.

CRISPY CAULIFLOWER CAKES

Steps:

• For the cauliflower cakes: In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, cornstarch, flour, curry powder, cumin, eggs, green onions, garlic and good pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of the mixture, form into patties and put on a plate.
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil to around 350 degrees F in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the patties in batches and fry until golden and crisp, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with sea salt.
• For the yogurt sauce: Mix the yogurt, lemon zest and juice and cilantro in a small bowl. Season with kosher salt, pepper and hot sauce.
• Place the cakes on a platter and dress each with a little of the yogurt sauce, then garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.

WHOLE BAKED CAULIFLOWER CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Pull any large leaves off the cauliflower, but leave any smaller ones attached. Carefully lower the cauliflower into the water and boil for 15 mins, then drain and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Melt the butter in a medium pan over a medium heat, then stir in the flour and paprika, and cook for 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the milk until smooth, then mix in the mustard. Return the pan to the heat and bring the mixture to the boil, whisking continuously. Add two-thirds of the cheese and whisk until the cheese has melted. Season to taste.
• Put the cauliflower in the middle of a deep baking dish and pour over the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 30-35 mins until golden brown and bubbling. Scatter with the chives before serving.

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss together the cauliflower, oil, taco seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, juice half of the lime into a small bowl, then cut the other half into 4 small wedges. Stir the sour cream into the lime juice until smooth. Finely dice the avocado and sprinkle it with a little salt and juice from 1 lime wedge. Thinly slice the jalapeño crosswise. Place the refried beans in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon to soften them. Set all the toppings aside until ready to serve.
• Push the baked cauliflower to the center of the baking sheet. Dollop the refried beans (about 1 tablespoon per dollop) over the top, then sprinkle evenly with a little salt and with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the beans are warmed through and the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drizzle the salsa verde and lime sour cream over the cauliflower nachos. Top with the avocado, jalapeño and cilantro. Sprinkle with a little black pepper. Serve with the reserved lime wedges for squeezing.
