Equipment

Presto 7072, Black Slimline Griddle, 22"

Ingredients

1 pound cauliflower pearls
4 large eggs beaten
1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese grated fresh, reduced-fat works well
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated fresh
1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs homemade or store-bought
2 pinches kosher salt
black pepper freshly ground, to taste

Instructions

Preheat a non-stick griddle to 350° and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, cheddar, parmesan, breadcrumbs, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Use a 3 tablespoon scoop to measure out the hash brown mixture and place onto the hot griddle. Press gently with the back of your spatula to flatten. My griddle (linked below) allows for me to make 8 at a time which is half the recipe).
Cook 3 to 4 minutes a side before carefully flipping, continue to cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve immediately or transfer the cauliflower hash browns to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Keep warm in a 250° oven.
Repeat with the remaining hash brown mixture.

Notes

To reheat, add them to an air-fryer or skillet and cook until heated through and the edges crisp.
