8 toasts

Ingredients

  • 5 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 pound)

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Preheat to 425 degrees F. Line one large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place cauliflower in a food processor. Process until finely grated. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and microwave on High for 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess moisture. Return to the bowl and stir in Cheddar, egg, pepper and salt until thoroughly combined. Using about 1/4 cup of the cauliflower mixture for each, create eight 3-inch squares on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake until the toasts are browned and crispy around the edges, 22 to 25 minutes.

Tips

To make ahead: Freeze baked toasts between layers of wax or parchment paper in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
