Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 pound shredded Colby-Jack cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 cup plain bread crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Use a knife to cut the stem out of the cauliflower head; it should look like a bowl when done. Dip cauliflower into the beaten egg. Dip outside in bread crumbs to cover, leaving space where stem was removed. Place into a deep oven-safe baking dish.

Step 3

Mix chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until cauliflower is tender, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Place Colby-Jack cheese in the empty "bowl" space of cauliflower. Sprinkle seasoning mix all over top of cheese and cauliflower.
