Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small head cauliflower
¼ cup olive oil
½ stick unsalted butter
ground black pepper to taste
2 slices Gouda cheese
2 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
2 slices beefsteak tomato

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the tough bottom leaves from the cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place on a cutting board with the stem facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use. Cut vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", about 1 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast cauliflower in the preheated oven until soft and browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large frying pan. Cook cauliflower until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip cauliflower and shift to one side of the pan so you have space to warm cheese slices.
  • Lay cheese slices in the pan until they begin to melt, then place over the cauliflower steaks. Warm tomato slices in the same way. Season with black pepper. Cover cheeses and tomatoes with the second steak. Flip "sandwich" and cook over low heat until cheeses are melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm, dense cauliflower head for roasting. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Roast the cauliflower florets at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Use a sturdy bread for the grilled cheese sandwich. A sourdough or hearty whole wheat bread will work well.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each slice of bread. This will help the sandwich brown and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add your favorite cheese to the sandwich. A sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina would all be good choices.
  • Cook the grilled cheese sandwich in a hot skillet over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Conclusion:

This roasted cauliflower grilled cheese sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover roasted cauliflower. The sandwich is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
