Instructions
Finely chop the cauliflower and steam for about 10 minutes. You'll know it's done when you can easily insert a fork into each piece. Drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and drained cauliflower, cheeses, breadcrumbs, egg and seasonings. Mix well.
Lightly wet or oil your hands and form the mixture into round patty shapes. There should be about 12.
Over medium high heat, add oil to your frying pan and cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side (or until they're deeply golden brown).
You can also bake or air fry these. Set the temperature to 400 degrees F and bake for about 15 minutes flipping halfway through.
Mix together ranch and buffalo sauce for dipping. Serve alongside the cauliflower bites.
