Instructions

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 10 minutes), then mash until smooth but slightly textured.

In a large bowl, combine mashed cauliflower, eggs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Drain the patties on paper towels and garnish with extra chives. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
