Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by steaming or microwaving 1 medium cauliflower head until fork-tender, about 8–10 minutes. Once soft, drain any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel to ensure a dry batter. Then, mash the cauliflower until smooth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower with 1 cup of shredded cheese, 2 beaten eggs, and ½ cup of almond flour. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly blended.
  3. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the plates with oil or cooking spray.
  4. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center—typically about ½ cup. Close the lid and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp and golden brown.
  5. Carefully remove the Cheesy Cauliflower Waffles from the waffle maker using a fork. Serve them warm and crispy, topped with your favorites.

Notes

Ensure your cauliflower is fully drained after cooking to avoid a watery batter. Experiment with different types of cheese for a variety of flavors.
