Cauliflower Patties

1 lb. cooked cauliflower

1 egg, beaten

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 375F. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a large bowl combine cauliflower, egg, cheese and breadcrumbs.  Mash ingredients with a fork until well mixed. Using clean hands form into 8 cakes. Place cakes on prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray cooking. Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

These are delicious.  I ate them in place of meat along with a small salad.  And It's is inexpensive too!

I bought the Cauliflower at Food Lion which was on sale for $1.00.  The cheese was $2.00 for the full package and I used just under 1/2 the package making it approx. $1.00.  The Panko was $1.79 and I used about 1/3 of the package costing approx. $.60.  And of course the egg which was just pennies.  This ended up costing about $.65 per serving.

Comments:  I actually cooked mine in the Air Fryer.  I've never been a really big cauliflower lover but this dish is the best!  I ate it with 1/2 cup of 2% cottage cheese topped with 2 slices of canned pears.  It was simply delicious!  (The Nutrition Facts below include the cottage cheese and pears)
