Crispy Breaded Cauliflower Bites with Soured Cream
How to make breaded cauliflower recipe? Here's my favorite recipe for breaded fried cauliflower, to serve for appetizer or as main course, or even side dish crispy breaded cauliflower bites with soured cream.
Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower
- 2 Eggs
- 50 g Flour
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- Salt, Pepper
- Garlic Powder optional
Instructions
- First step in this crispy breaded cauliflower recipe is to clean it from leaves and cut it in smaller flowers. Make sure to not separate the heads and do it really gentle, so it won't fall apart.
- Boil water, add salt, put the cauliflowers inside and cook them until they get soft. If you add them into boiling water, it should't take more than 15 minutes. Take them out drain them, and prepare a pan with oil.
- When it comes to cauliflower, you need more oil, otherwise, it's getting pretty hard to fry each side of the pieces, especially if you have bigger chunks.
- Then beat up two eggs, prepare on a plate flour, and on another one the breadcrumbs. To the eggs, you should add salt and pepper after taste, and some garlic powder optionally for extra taste!
- In the meantime while the oil is heating up, start dipping your cauliflowers one by one first into the flour. Make sure to roll them into the flour well, so it sticks everywhere.
- Once you've got one ready, dip it into the eggs, following my tips to not get dirty the whole kitchen, and make sure that the eggs stick on each side. Take it out, and put it into the bowl with breadcrumbs, and roll it into the breadcrumbs well, so they stick everywhere.
- You should right away add them one by one as they are ready into the oil. If you've used enough oil to just cover it until half, don't forget to turn it around while you're dealing with the other cauliflowers.
- It doesn't take more than 3-4 minutes in hot oil for them to get crispy on the outside, so once one is ready, you can remove them from the oil right away and add them into a bowl with a kitchen towel under, so that can soak up the oil.
- Also, make sure to turn off the gas after the first round from medium to low, otherwise while you're busy dipping the cauliflower chunks into the ingredients, they will get burned.
