- 1 head cauliflower cut into small flowerettes
- 1 egg
- 1-2 oz grated Parmesan
- 1-2 oz grated Manchego cheese*
- olive oil salt & pepper
- chopped green onions for garnish
- sour cream optional

- Place cauliflower in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped. Beat egg in a mixing bowl.
- Add chopped cauliflower and 1 oz of each cheese. Stir with a fork to form dough, adding more cheese if possible while still leaving enough moisture so mixture will hold together.

The fritter recipe couldn’t have popped up at a better time…I have a large bag of cauliflower from Costco that needs to be eaten…once again, thanks for coming to the rescue, Jenna!
Enjoy the weekend.
Thanks Marigene, Let me know what you think ~
I was just thinking the other day that we’ve gotten into a “sides rut”. We have a salad, baked potato, slaw or green beans with just about every meal. You’ve inspired me to get out of our rut and into the kitchen with you!
Thanks Kim, I hope you enjoy! >
Awesome! I just bought cauliflower today — this is perfect.
Fritters sound like a great way to enjoy cauliflower Jenna! I need to try cauliflower as a pizza crust 🙂 Hope your Memorial Day is full of good food and fun!
Love these! We have potato allergies in the house, so I’m always looking for alternatives. These look delicious!
oh goodness, that must be a challenge!
