Scrambled Cauliflower - Low Carb image

I got this recipe and it wasn't low carb and included breadcrumbs instead of Parmesan cheese so you could form patties (like a latke). Since I'm living a low-carb lifestyle, I decided to adapt it, but the patties were less-than-desirable visually the taste wasn't that impressive. I had one completely fall apart on me in the pan so I just scrambled it up and viola; we had a new fave! You can add bacon and garlic as a yummy addition, if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place cauliflower into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Mash cauliflower in a bowl until smooth. Beat Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, cayenne pepper, and salt into cauliflower.
