Ingredients:

  • 1 large fresh cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • Boiling water to cover

Filling:

  • 2 packages Tnuva Edam Slices, cut into small pieces
  • 1 container Tnuva Feta Cow’s Milk Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules

Coating:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs beaten with ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups bread crumbs
  • Non-stick spray for baking or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Separate the cauliflower into florets and place into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 20 minutes.
  2. Rinse the florets and dry on absorbent paper.
  3. In a bowl, combine all the filling ingredients. Using your hands, fill the crevices of each cauliflower floret with about a tablespoon of the filling. Repeat with the rest of the cauliflower.
  4. Dip each stuffed floret into the coating: first the flour, then the egg, and lastly, the bread crumbs. Repeat with all the cauliflower florets.
  5. If baking, place on a generously greased baking pan and bake at 360°F until brown. Alternately, you can deep fry in hot oil.
  6. Serve warm.
