Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pulse 3 cups cauliflower florets in a food processor until finely chopped resembling rice. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes until softened. Let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower, 6 chopped crisp bacon strips, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup almond flour, 2 thinly sliced green onions, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture per fritter and flatten gently into patties.
  4. Step 4: Fry fritters in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
