Ingredient Notes
Cauliflower: I recommend using fresh cauliflower to give a refreshing aroma. It provides many health benefits and also retains your dish’s flavor.
Egg: It is used to bind the mixture. Otherwise, the cauliflower batter will not maintain its texture.
Cheese: Use only reduced-fat cheese to maintain the Weight Watchers points.
Bread Crumbs: I used panko breadcrumbs to make this dish. You can use different breadcrumbs depending on your taste and diet meal restrictions.
Cooking Spray: We used cooking spray to grease the tray. Instead, you can use olive oil to mist the cooking tray.
