Keto Cheesy Cauliflower Bread (Printable)

Low-carb cauliflower bread with melted cheddar and mozzarella creates a gooey, satisfying grilled sandwich.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cauliflower Bread

01 - 1 medium head cauliflower, about 1.5 lbs, 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

# Step-by-Step Guide:

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

  • For extra crispy sandwiches, lightly sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on the buttered sides before grilling
  • If your cauliflower bread breaks easily, let it cool a bit longer before handling
  • Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect melting - for best results, grate your cheese fresh
