Cooking directions
2
Heat large saute pan over high heat. Add butter and
3
cauliflower; saute on high until brown, stirring so
4
cauliflower doesn't burn. Season with salt and pepper;
5
remove to plate lined with paper towels; drain.
6
For batter: Whisk together flours, cornstarch, and a pinch
7
of salt and pepper. Whisk in cold seltzer water until
8
smooth. (Water MUST be cold for tempura-type batter.)
9
Store batter in the refrigerator until ready to fry.
10
Heat 3-4 inches vegetable oil to 350u00b0F in fryer or deep pan. Dip onion slices into the batter to cover
11
and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper-towel-lined plates and season with salt and pepper.
12
Heat grill over medium. Drizzle one side of each slice of bread with a 1/2 tablespoon olive oil; place
13
4 slices, oil-side down, on grill (or use panini press). Top each slice with Pepper Jack, cauliflower,
14
fried onions, and a slice of Cheddar, in that order. Place remaining 4 bread slices on top of
15
sandwiches, oil-side up. Grill, turning once, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted
