I love cauliflower and discovered several ways to use it for low carb recipes. I started making Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes a couple years ago and the first time I made them, my family and I really loved them. They are full of flavor and super tasty. Since we enjoyed them so much, I have made them many times and they are perfect for lunch or a side dish. I do love potatoes, but when I find a way to make something low carb, I will jump on the idea. I saw this recipe on Food.com and modified the ingredients to my liking. I made Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes last week after a tough boot camp workout and felt great eating something low carb after just burning hundreds of calories. If you do not use all of the mix, it refrigerates well until the next day. I love Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes and since I have all of the ingredients, I am going to make them for lunch today!
- 1 head cauliflower (or a 16 oz bag of frozen cauliflower)
- 2 large eggs
- ½-3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I love cheese, so use closer to ¾ cup)
- ¼ cup diced green onions
- ½-1 cup bread crumbs (I usually need closer to 1 cup)
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (more of less to taste)
- salt
- olive oil
- light sour cream (optional)
- Cut cauliflower into florets and cook in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes
- Drain and mash the cauliflower while it is still warm
- Stir cheese, eggs, green onions, bread crumbs, cayenne & salt to taste
- Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat
- Form the cauliflower mixture into patties about 3 inches across
- Cook until golden brown & set, about 3 minutes per side
- Enjoy with some light sour cream!
Pinned! I want to try these!
