Ingredients
For the cauliflower buns
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
For the burgers
- 1 lb. ground beef
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- vegetable oil
- 4 slices cheddar
- 4 tomato slices
- Lettuce, for serving
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 425º and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On a box grater or in a food processor, grate cauliflower and transfer to a large bowl. Microwave on high, 8 minutes.
- Step 2Drain thoroughly with paper towels or a cheesecloth until mixture is dry. Add eggs, Parmesan and cornstarch and season with salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
- Step 3Form cauliflower into eight 4” circles on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake until golden, 22 to 25 minutes.
- Step 4Meanwhile, make burgers: Shape ground beef into four large patties. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
- Step 5In a large skillet, heat a very thin layer of vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the patties. Cook until cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
- Step 6During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid to melt cheese.
- Step 7Serve burgers on cauliflower buns with tomato and lettuce.
