Here’s a low-carb Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe using cauliflower bread:
Ingredients:
For Cauliflower Bread:
- 1 medium-sized cauliflower, grated
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Grilled Cheese Filling:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Butter or olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
- Rice the cauliflower using a food processor or a box grater. Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 4-5 minutes or until it’s cooked.
- Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the bread from being too wet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, shredded mozzarella, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the cauliflower mixture into four equal parts and shape them into square or rectangular “bread” slices on the parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the bread holds together.
- Once the cauliflower bread is done, let it cool for a few minutes. While it cools, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- For each sandwich, place a cauliflower bread slice in the skillet. Add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top of one slice, and then place another cauliflower bread slice on top to form a sandwich.
- Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese is melted, and the bread is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing.
