1 medium head cauliflower
2 eggs
1 C shredded cheddar
1 C shredded parmesan
2 T fresh chopped herbs*
2/3 C panko breadcrumbs
½ t salt
¼ t pepper
* To try out the recipe, I just used a pre-blended Italian herb mix (2 tsp, dried), but you could play around with any flavor combination here!
Core cauliflower and chop into 1 - 1½ " inch floret pieces. Steam until tender. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large bowl. Mash cauliflower using a pastry blender or potato masher (or, use a food processor...) in to very fine pieces.
Add eggs, cheeses, panko, herbs, and salt & pepper (more or less to taste). Mix until well combined.
Shape 1-2 tablespoons of cauliflower mixture into balls or 'tot-like' shapes with your hands. Arrange tots in a single laer on a parchment lined baking sheet, or in the basket of an air fryer. Cook at 375° until golden -- for 10-12 minutes in an air fryer, or approximately 20-25 minutes in conventional oven,
Serve with your choice of dipping sauce(s).
