Ingredients:

• 1 Fresh Cauliflower Head.
• 2 eggs.
• 2 tbsp milk, preferably semi-skimmed milk.
• 100g breadcrumbs.

Instructions:

• Boil the cauliflower in salted water for approximately 2 minutes, and keep checking the cauliflower florets to ensure they are tender. You don’t want to make them soft at this stage.

• Let the cauliflower florets dry off for approximately 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 4.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic granules, thyme paprika flakes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
• Pour the milk and egg mixture into the bowl with the cauliflower, stirring to ensure that the egg coats every nook and cranny of each piece. The florets should be coated in the mixture before being placed in the breadcrumbs and coated.
• Arrange the florets around the baking tray and bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until starting to turn crispy and golden brown.
• Turn the cauliflower on the other side and bake for 10 minutes or until crisp.
• Serve and eat while they are still warm.

• 1 Fresh Cauliflower or frozen cauliflower.
• 1 egg.

Instructions:

• Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until fine and rice-looking. If you are using fresh cauliflower, make sure to steam the cauliflower until tender first.

• Bake until golden-looking and crusty.
