Perfect for the table and with drinks. You can make cauliflower using this recipe as a side for meat or poultry, or serve it as a standalone dish with various sauces. Cauliflower is a healthy vegetable you can include in your diet almost every day. With this recipe, we first parboil the cauliflower briefly, then bake it in a tasty batter. If you like, add garlic, herbs, or spices to the batter to taste. Simple, quick, hearty, and delicious! I highly recommend trying it. The appetizer is ready. Serve right away.

Mix well. If the batter is too thick, you can add another egg or a little sour cream. If it’s too thin, add flour or cheese. It all depends on the size of the eggs and the quality of the flour. The finished batter should drip slowly from the spoon.
