Now add the eggs, smashed garlic, parmesan, flour, baking powder, and chopped parsley to the cauliflower. Stir gently until it all comes together. Season with salt and pepper.
05 -
Chop up your cooked cauliflower really well using a stick blender or food processor. Dump all of it into a big bowl.

Make sure your oil is hot enough so the balls crisp up on the outside and get cooked through in the middle.

Keep eggs in the fridge and check the date on them to make sure they're fresh.
03 -
Eggs can be used in lots of ways—scrambled, poached, or as an omelet.
