- 50gms of finely grated parmesan
Desired topping ideas:

Method:

2. Using a food processor process the cauliflower until finely chopped. Once finely chopped place cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl
3. Cover and microwave on high for approximately 8-10 minutes or until very tender
4. Drain the cauliflower through a fine sieve, pressing down well with a wooden spoon to remove the excess liquid
5. Combine the cauliflower, egg and parmesan in a bowl
