PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer to toast the chickpeas for extra crunch; otherwise, prepare all items on the stovetop.

  • 2

    Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 10-12 minutes.

  • 3

    While steaming, season the chickpeas lightly with salt and pepper and roast them in the oven on a baking sheet for approximately 10 minutes until slightly crisp, or leave them as is if you prefer.

  • 4

    Once the cauliflower is tender, use a blender or fork to mash it into a creamy consistency, leaving a few small chunks for texture.

  • 5

    Mix in the Greek yogurt and sharp cheddar cheese with the mashed cauliflower while it's still warm so the cheese melts slightly.

  • 6

    Fold in the roasted chickpeas gently.

  • 7

    Prepare the egg by either poaching or hard boiling it. Once cooked, chop it and stir into the cauliflower mixture or use as a topping.

  • 8

    Season the entire dish with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
