Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes

I had a head of cauliflower in my refrigerator, and I wondered what I was going to make with it.  I announced to my husband that cauliflower was going to be involved with dinner is some way.  He immediately thought of Cauliflower Pancakes, what a good idea.  I have made them once before, and he loved them.  They are the same concept as potato pancakes.  These are so simple, and a perfect side to any dinner.  If you like potato pancakes you should try these!

Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of Cauliflower, chopped into bite size pieces, and steamed(or boiled until soft)
• 1 cup Medium Cheddar Cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 1/2-1 tsp Salt, depending on level of saltiness you want
• olive oil for frying

Steam, or boil cauliflower until soft.

Add cauliflower to a large bowl, and mash into tiny pieces.

Add in cheese, eggs, bread crumbs, and salt. Mix until combined.

Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil into a skillet, and turn on medium-medium high heat.  Spoon mixture into pan, shape and flatten into a round "pancake" shape, that should be about 3"-4" wide.  Takes 2 big heaping table spoons.  Let brown for a few minutes, then flip.  Be careful when flipping, so they don't fall apart.

Serve warm!  Delish!  These are tasty, and a new fun side dish! Let me know if you make them, and how you like them!

Enjoy!
