Instructions:

  1.  Remove stems from cauliflower, and break cauliflower into small florets.   Boil cauliflower florets in boiling salted water just until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.  Drain and set aside.  Beat eggs in large bowl and add the florets, mixing gently to coat.
  2. Mix the bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, parsley, and salt, and pepper together.  Place in large shallow bowl.  With slotted spoon, lift a few of the florets out of the egg mixture and into the bread crumbs.  Roll in crumbs until well coated.   Place coated florets on wax paper on cookie sheet until all have been coated with crumbs.
  3. Pour olive oil in large skillet or in an electric fry pan, and fry the florets until golden brown.  Sprinkle salt and pepper over florets while frying.  Transfer florets to a paper towel, then to a large platter.  Continue frying all the florets.  If oil in skillet becomes too dark, clean pan with paper towel and add new olive oil to continue frying.
  4. Sprinkle cheese over the warm cauliflower florets and serve immediately.   Serves 6.
