Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

• Turn the oven’s temperature up to 375 degrees (190 degrees Celsius).
• It is advisable to line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

1. Prepare the Cauliflower:

• Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and wash it.
• Cut the cauliflower into florets.
• Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice-like grains.

1. Cook the Cauliflower:

• Place the processed cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes, or until the cauliflower is soft.
• Allow the cauliflower to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a clean kitchen towel.
• Wrap the cauliflower in a towel and wring out any excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent a soggy bread.

1. Mix the Dough:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
• To make a homogeneous dough, thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.

1. Add Eggs:

• Add the eggs to the cauliflower mixture.
• Mix until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.

1. Shape the Bread:

• Place the dough on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
• Shape it into a rectangular loaf, approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick.

1. Bake:

• Bake the cauliflower bread in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until it’s golden brown on top and set in the center.

1. Add Parmesan Cheese:

• Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the bread during the last 10 minutes of baking.

1. Cool and Slice:

• Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
• Place the bread on a cooling rack to cool entirely.
• Once cooled, slice the bread into 12 equal slices.

Cook’s Tips:

• You can customize the seasoning by adding herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil.
• For added flavor, you can brush the top of the bread with melted butter and sprinkle with extra Parmesan before baking.
• Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight jar. Reheat slices in the toaster or oven to regain their crispiness.
• This bread can be used for sandwiches, as a side with soups, or enjoyed on its own as a low-carb snack.
