Crispy breaded cauliflower with egg batter - golden, crunchy, and easy to make at home.
Start by preparing the cauliflower. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cauliflower florets for about 7 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain them well and allow them to cool slightly. Proper draining is important to help the batter stick better.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with the flour and a pinch of salt until you get a smooth, thick batter. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower evenly.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is fully coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry the florets on all sides until they turn golden and crispy.
Remove the fried cauliflower and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the breaded cauliflower warm for the best taste and texture.
