About Croquette de choux fleur panne

Croquette de Choux Fleur Panne, also known as breaded cauliflower croquettes, is a French-inspired dish featuring cauliflower florets coated in breadcrumbs, then fried or baked to golden perfection. A popular appetizer or side dish, it highlights the versatility of cauliflower. Nutritionally, cauliflower is low in calories but packed with vital nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and fiber. Traditionally, breadcrumbs and eggs are used for coating, which adds protein and carbohydrates to the dish. The preparation method (fried vs. baked) significantly impacts its calorie and fat content. Regardless of the method, it offers a satisfying alternative to starchy appetizers with a vegetable base.
