Keto Grilled Cheese Recipe:

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-cutlery”] Servings: 2


Ingredients

For Cauliflower crust “bread” slices:

  • 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into small florets (should yield 3 cups of cauliflower rice)
  • 1 free-range organic egg, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup / 1.7 oz / 50 gr shredded mozzarella cheese or Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ Italian herb seasoning

For Grilled cheese:

  • 2thick slices of white cheddar cheese or shredded cheddar cheese, I use this

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until crumbs are about half the size of a grain of rice.
  3. Place cauliflower into a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Your cauliflower should be soft and tender.
  4. Stir cauliflower to mix up the bottom and top cauliflower. Place back into the microwave and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove and stir again so that all the cauliflower cooks evenly. Place back into the microwave and cook for 5 minutes. At this point, you should see the cauliflower is starting to become drier. Microwave for another 5 minutes. Cauliflower should still be slightly moist to the touch but should look dry and clumped up.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine processed cauliflower, eggs, Parmesan, and oregano. Mix until evenly combined then season with salt and pepper. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Place onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using your knuckles and fingers, shape them into square bread slices about 1/2 inch thick. Bake cauliflower bread for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes.
  6. Using a good spatula, carefully slide cauliflower bread off of parchment paper. Now you are ready to assemble your sandwiches. Make 2 cauliflower sandwiches by adding two slices of cheese in between each pair of bread slices. Place sandwiches into a toaster oven and broil for several minutes (5-10) until cheese is completely melted and bread is toasty. If you don’t own a toaster oven, you can also do this in the oven under the broiler.
  7. You can also make them in a skillet. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray then scoop the cauliflower mixture into a small patty on one side of the pan. Repeat to form a second patty on the other side. (These are your “bread” slices.) Press down on both pieces with a spatula and cook until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden, about 3 minutes more.
  8. Top one cauliflower slice with cheese then place the other cauliflower slice on top. Cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes more per side. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  9. Serve and Enjoy!
