Instructions

Steam and Prep Cauliflower: Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender. Once steamed, finely chop the cauliflower by hand or pulse it in a food processor until it reaches a finely chopped consistency suitable for mixing.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the chopped cauliflower with eggs, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low-carb), chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined into a uniform mixture.
Form Patties: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it gently into small round patties, approximately 8 in total.
Heat Oil: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil is hot enough to fry and crisp the patties properly without burning.
Fry Patties: Fry the patties in batches, cooking each side for 3–4 minutes until they develop a golden brown and crispy crust.
Drain and Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally topped with sour cream, avocado slices, or a poached egg for added richness and flavor.

Notes

Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs for a low-carb, gluten-free version.
The patties can be made ahead and reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer for convenience.
Add fresh herbs such as parsley or dill to the mixture to enhance the flavor profile.
