Great way to use up those ham leftovers
ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 1/4 cups finely diced ham
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp mustard powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Plenty of oil or butter for the pan
directions
- Chop cauliflower into 1/2 inch pieces and steam about 10 to 15 minutes, until quite soft. Drain well in a fine-mesh sieve. Mash up with a fork or potato masher, pressing to release as much liquid as possible. You don't want it perfectly smooth, it should be a little chunky.
- Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl and add eggs, cheese, ham, flour, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add oil or butter to the pan. Using 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time, form cauliflower mixture into flat patties, pressing together firmly. Don't make them more than about 3 inches in diameter.
- When pan is hot, add a few of the cauliflower patties, being careful not to crowd them. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, until browned on the bottom, then flip carefully and cook another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining patties.
- Serve hot
