If your lunch is missing some ooey-gooey goodness, look no further than this baked cauliflower grilled cheese sandwich oozing with melted dairy-free cheese.
Everyone loves an oozing grilled cheese sandwich, but all too often these lunchtime favorites are weighed down with unhealthy carbs and gut-wrecking dairy. The solution? Crispy cauliflower bread and shredded Paleo mozzarella!
Believe it or not, cauliflower makes a chewy, moist bread that’s hearty enough to withstand any fillings you can think up! To make it even better, this recipe adds thyme and basil for a savory herb flavor. Then, Paleo mozzarella cheese made from cashews, nutritional yeast and grass-fed gelatin, melts between two warm slices of herb “bread” for the ultimate Paleo cauliflower grilled cheese!

Begin by combining finely riced cauliflower, eggs, almond meal and herbs in a large mixing bowl, stirring well to incorporate the eggs. Use a measuring cup to scoop equal amounts of dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and shape into squares about ¼ inch thick. Bake for 20 minutes to cook the bread through or until lightly golden around edges. Allow the bread to cool slightly before topping with cheese, allowing the warmth from the bread to melt the cheese. Enjoy immediately!
Tips:
- Make the cheese the day before to save time!
- This recipe can also be used to make one large cauliflower pizza crust. Just form the bread dough into a large circle on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
