Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2-3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 6 thin slices Provolone cheese
  • fresh basil

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower into 3/4 inch slices or "steaks". You should be able to get 3-4 steaks per cauliflower head. (*note: you do NOT want to remove any of the outer leaves or stem, as that's what holds the slices together!)
  • Using 3 separate plates or shallow bowls, place the flour on one, the beaten eggs on another, and a combination of bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, salt & pepper on another.
  • Dip each of the cauliflower steaks into the flour to coat, then into the beaten eggs to coat, and finally into the bread crumb mixture to coat.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded cauliflower steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a baking sheet. Top each steak with 1/4 cup marinara sauce and 2 slices of cheese. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, until cauliflower is tender and cheese is bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and top with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
