My mother has always been an amazing cook, and this Breaded Cauliflower is one of her most popular dishes. It's a simple recipe, but it's so delicious and versatile. I love serving it as an appetizer or side dish, and it's also great for potlucks and parties.

The best thing about this recipe is that it's so easy to make. You can have it on the table in less than 30 minutes. It's also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I usually make a big batch of roasted cauliflower on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make this dish during the week. It's a great way to get your veggies in, and it's also a kid-friendly recipe.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does. It's a simple, delicious, and versatile dish that's perfect for any occasion.

Step-by-step

  • Place cauliflower and a small amount of water in a skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks and seasonings. Place bread crumbs and cheese in a large resealable plastic bag. Add a few florets at a time to the egg mixture; toss to coat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to crumb mixture; toss to coat.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook cauliflower in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
