Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket or microwave until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until it resembles a fine rice-like texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, almond flour, beaten eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until you have a thick, cohesive batter.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the cooking surface.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter and carefully shape it into a flat, round patty. Repeat until the skillet has 2-3 patties cooking (don’t overcrowd).
Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Flip carefully to avoid breaking.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil or butter as needed.
Serve the Low Carb Fried Mush warm with your favorite low-carb condiments or toppings, such as sour cream, chives, or a dollop of sugar-free ketchup.
