Cauliflower Crust Grilled Cheese Recipe

Ingredients Makes 2 grilled cheese sandwiches Cauliflower crust “bread” slices 1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets (should yield 3 cups of cauliflower rice)1 free-range organic egg, lightly beaten½ cup / 1.7 oz / 50 gr shredded mozzarella cheese½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt¼ teaspoon ground black pepper Grilled cheese 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature⅓ cup / 3 oz / 85 gr sharp cheddar cheese, grated/shredded, room temperature Directions Cauliflower crust “bread” slices Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally grease it with olive oil. Set aside.In a food processor rice the cauliflower florets (it should be evenly chopped but not completely pulverized).Transfer cauliflower rice (about 3 cups) to a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 8 minutes, until cooked.Place the cauliflower rice in a tea towel and twist it to squeeze as much moisture as you can (I usually squeeze out over a cup of liquid). This is very important. The cauliflower rice needs to be dry, otherwise you’ll end up with mushy dough, impossible to use as slices of bread.Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl, add egg, mozzarella, salt, pepper and mix well.Spread cauliflower mixture onto the lined baking sheet and shape into 4 squares.Place in the oven and bake for about 16 minutes until golden.Remove and let cool 10 minutes before peeling them off the parchment paper (be careful not to break them!)
