Cauliflower 350 g Blumenkohl (ca. ½ Kopf)

Edam cheese block 150 g Edamer (30 % Fett i. Tr.) am Stück

Free-range Eggs M 1 Ei (Größe M)

Classic breadcrumbs 80 g Mais-Paniermehl (glutenfrei)

Dried Oregano 1 TL getrockneter Oregano

Salt 1 Prise Salz

Preparation method

Wash the cauliflower, divide into small florets, and boil in a pot with water for approx. 15–20 minutes until soft. Then drain and let cool and dry thoroughly (ideally prepare the day before). Finely grate the Edam cheese.

Place the dry cauliflower in a bowl, add the egg, and mash everything finely with a fork or a potato masher. Stir in the corn breadcrumbs, grated Edam, oregano, and salt. Let the mixture rest briefly in the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat.

Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Form small nuggets or patties (approx. 0.5–1 cm thick) from the cauliflower mixture and place them on the sheet. Bake in the preheated oven at 190–200 °C for approx. 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
