Keto Cheesy Cauliflower Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Crispy cauliflower bread layered with gooey melted cheese creates this keto-friendly comfort sandwich.

# What You Need:

→ Cauliflower Bread

01 - 1 medium head cauliflower (about 1.5 lbs), cut into florets
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Filling

09 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
10 - 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
11 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until finely riced. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
02 - Place the riced cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
03 - In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
04 - Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle on the prepared baking sheet to form 8 bread slices.
05 - Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden and firm. Let cool for 5 minutes.
06 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each cauliflower bread slice.
07 - Place 4 slices, buttered side down, on the skillet. Top each with 1/4 of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese mixture. Cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
08 - Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
09 - Transfer to serving plates and serve warm.
