Cheesy Cauliflower Slice
Cheesy Cauliflower Slice
Makes: approximately 24 squares
Ingredients:
- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon mixed herbs
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Method:
- Preheat oven to 220 degree Celsius, grease and line a baking tray with baking paper
- Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor or thermo cooking unit (Speed 6 for 8 seconds) and blend to a bread crumb like texture, once complete transfer the cauliflower meal into a sieve lined with a fresh linen/muslin cloth
- Place the sieve on top of a saucepan with some water, bring the water to a boil then cover to steam the cauliflower for 5 minutes
- Press cauliflower with a large spoon to push out liquid then pick up the cloth and ring out the ends to remove as much excess liquid as possible
- Combine the cauliflower, half of both the cheeses, the egg and herbs into a bowl and mix well
- Spread onto baking tray and use your hand to shape into an even-thickness rectangle. Sprinkle remaining half of both cheeses on top
- Put in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sliced cooked through
- Use a pizza cutter to slice while it is still hot as once the cheese sets it’s more difficult to cut
- Allow to cool lightly on the baking tray for 10 minute before transferring to the separate squares to a cooling rack.
Recipe Notes:
- Soak the muslin cloth immediately otherwise can be quite pungent when it dries.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days
