Ingredients
 1 Cauliflower
 3 Eggs (Depends on the size of the cauliflower)
 ¼ cup Parmagiano Regiano or grated pecorino
 1 tbsp Flour
 3 tbsp Seasoned breadcrumbs
 Seasoned breadcrumbs
 Basil
 Fresh or dried oregano (if dried oregano, leave the dough to rest for 5 min more)
1

Wash the cauliflower, remove its leaves and cut it into florets

2

Blanch the florets for 2 to 3 minutes and immerse them in ice water. Drained and allowed to air dry.

3

Finely chopped basil and oregano

4

In a bowl, beat the eggs, grated cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, fresh herbs, salt and pepper until well combined. Dip the florets in the mixture, coat them well.

5

Pour olive oil into a medium skillet (not too large to save olive oil) to reach a height of about 3 to 4 mm. Heat to medium low temperature and quietly brown the florets. Drain well on absorbent paper, in kitchen cotton or simply in a colander.

Serve with a little arugula, a drizzle of olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar from Modena. This is delicious!
