Equipment
- 1 Food processor or blender
- 1 Baking tray
- 1 Baking paper
- 1 Medium saucepan
- 1 Sieve
- 1 Large spoon
- 1 Kitchen towel
- 1 Medium bowl
- 1 Metal spoon
- 1 Pizza cutter or sharp knife
- 1 Cooling racks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor or blender, until they resemble a coarse cauliflower meal. If using a blender you are best to do this in batches.
- Put 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Place cauliflower meal into a sieve and position the sieve on top of the saucepan. Steam cauliflower meal for 5 minutes, or until soft.
- Use a large spoon to press down on the cauliflower to get rid of any excess water, then transfer cauliflower onto some clean kitchen towel and squeeze out remainder of water.
- Place cauliflower into a medium bowl with half the mozzarella, half the parmesan, eggs, mustard and herbs/spices. Combine well with a metal spoon.
- Spread mixture onto the baking tray and use your hands to shape into an even-thickness rectangle. Sprinkle remaining cheeses on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese has melted and slice is cooked through. While still hot, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice into squares, then transfer to cooling racks.
- Serve with tomato sauce, salsa, fresh sliced tomatoes or a little green salad.
