- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano optional

Instructions
Rice the cauliflower
- Use a food processor or box grater to finely grate cauliflower into rice-sized pieces. You’ll need about 2 to 3 cups.
Remove the moisture
- Place the riced cauliflower in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial for a crispy texture.
Mix the cauliflower dough
- In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with egg, parmesan, and seasonings. Mix until a thick, moldable dough forms.
Form the bread slices
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and shape the dough into 4 square or rectangular "bread" slices. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 minutes until golden and firm.
Assemble the sandwich
- Place shredded or sliced cheese between two cauliflower slices. Grill on a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until the cheese melts and the exterior is crisp.
