Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheesy Cauliflower Waffles
  1. Begin by steaming or microwaving the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess moisture and mash or rice the cauliflower, allowing it to cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, eggs, cheese, almond flour, and chosen spices. Fold ingredients gently, avoiding overmixing for a slightly lumpy texture.
  3. Preheat your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the cauliflower mixture into the waffle maker, cover the grid, and cook for approximately 7-10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Remove the waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a cooling rack. Serve fresh and warm with toppings like poached egg or sour cream.
