7. Use a spatula to remove the cauliflower bread and assemble sandwiches. Place 1-2 slices of cheese in between two slices of cauliflower bread.

Cleaning up my post Christmas nutrition by not eating flours and sugars throughout the week so I gave this a try. I mostly followed the recipe except I used a blend of grated Italian cheeses in the "bread" w/ American cheese & Dill pickles in the sandwich. Did it taste like bread? Not quite but gave me the sandwich fix i craved. The next day I used a slice in a BELT (the E being egg) which was quite delicious. I didn't attempt to pick it up- used a knife and fork. Next time I think I'll turn it into a pizza crust! Thanks for sharing!
