Keto Cheesy Cauliflower Bread (Printable Version)

Golden cauliflower bread layered with melted sharp cheddar and mozzarella for a satisfying low-carb meal.

# What You Need:

→ Cauliflower Bread

01 - 1 medium head cauliflower (about 1.5 pounds), 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

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - 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.
03 - Place the riced cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
04 - In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
05 - 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.
06 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden and firm. Let cool for 5 minutes.
07 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each cauliflower bread slice.
08 - 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.
09 - Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
10 - Transfer sandwiches to serving plates and serve warm.

02 -
  • For the best texture, don't skip squeezing the moisture from the cauliflower—this is crucial for bread that holds together
  • If you have a cheese grater attachment for your food processor, use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting
  • Let the cauliflower bread cool slightly before assembling to prevent it from breaking
  • Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwiches while cooking to help the cheese melt evenly
  • Store leftover cauliflower bread slices in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, separated by parchment paper
