Cauliflower Crust Grilled Cheese

Instructions

• 1

  Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle.
• 2

  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally grease it with olive oil. Set aside.
• 3

  In a food processor rice the cauliflower florets (it should be evenly chopped but not completely pulverized).
• 4

  Transfer cauliflower rice (about 3 cups) to a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 8 minutes, until cooked.
• 5

  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.
• 6

  Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl, add egg, mozzarella, salt, pepper and mix well.
• 7

  Spread cauliflower mixture onto the lined baking sheet and shape into 4 squares.
• 8

  Place in the oven and bake for about 16 minutes until golden.
• 9

  Remove and let cool 10 minutes before peeling them off the parchment paper (be careful not to break them!)
• 10

  Heat a pan over medium heat.
• 11

  Butter one side of each slice of cauliflower crust bread (preferably the top part).
• 12

  Place one slice of bread in the pan, buttered side down, sprinkle with the cheese and top with the remaining slice of cauliflower crust bread, buttered side up.
• 13

  Turn the heat down a notch and cook until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes.
• 14

  Gently flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 to 4 minutes.
