Knife

Pan
Baking Sheet
Cutting Board

Preparation

let’s go to the kitchen to make

The first thing to do is to remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower, then wash it by fully immersing it in water without cutting it. Then let it drain upside down.
In the meantime, beat the eggs in a deep plate.
Now that the cauliflower has drained, place it on a cutting board and slice it into slices about 0.4 inches (1 cm) thick. Any broken pieces can still be used in this recipe or soups.
Season the breadcrumbs with pecorino, chopped garlic, and parsley, salt, and pepper to taste
Dip the slices in the egg, ensuring the egg gets between the crevices. You may use a spoon to pour the egg into the spaces.
Next, coat the slices with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing firmly with your fingers to ensure the breadcrumbs enter all the holes in the cauliflower.
Then shake off the excess breadcrumbs and place it on a tray
Now decide whether to bake it or fry it in a pan. Or in an air fryer.
For oven baking, cook it at 375°F (190°C) static or 355°F (180°C) fan for about 30 minutes.
If you prefer frying, do a double cooking: first in a pan and then 5 minutes in the oven.
In an air fryer, arrange the slices in the basket and cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes.
