Cauliflower fritters with cheese are a delicious, crispy, and flavorful side dish. This recipe is typical of Italian cuisine and requires few ingredients. The cauliflower is cooked and then mixed with flour, egg, cream, and grated Parmigiano cheese to achieve a soft and tasty consistency. The fritters are then fried in hot oil until they turn golden and crispy. They are perfect to serve as a side dish to meat or fish.
