Preparation

Step 1

In pot of boiling water cook cauliflower until tender. Drain in colander over large bowl. Using potato masher, mash cauliflower in colander and allow to sit 10 minutes to drain further.

In small frying pan, cook onion over medium heat until caramelized.

In large frying pan, over medium heat cook bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside. In small bowl, beat eggs with fork. Beat in salt and pepper.

To cauliflower, add onion, bacon, Cheddar cheese, jalapeno (if using), Gluten-Free Bake Mix and baking powder. Add egg mixture and combine well.

In large frying pan, over medium heat add fritter mixture by 2 tablespoonfuls and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Flip carefully when golden brown and crispy underneath and cook the other side. Serve hot with sour cream, if desired.
