How to Prepare Cauliflower Patties Stuffed with Scamorza
Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes and separate the cauliflower into florets. Steam them for 15 minutes, I used the microwave and a suitable container.
Mash the vegetables with a fork or potato masher and add salt, pepper, the egg, grated cheese, and enough breadcrumbs to get a workable mixture that doesn’t stick too much to your hands.
Divide the mixture into mounds of your preferred size, I made them quite large.Cut the scamorza into as many pieces as patties you want to make. Put a piece of cheese in each patty and shape them round with your hands, flattening them slightly. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, add a drizzle of oil and bake the patties in a preheated static oven at 375°F for 15 – 20 minutes.
Remove the Cauliflower Patties Stuffed with Scamorza from the oven and serve them hot to enjoy the melted cheese.
