4. Meanwhile, dip each piece of cauliflower into the egg then toss it around the bread crumb mixture making sure it is coated well.

 

 
5. Drop carefully each piece into the oil, fill the pan. Turn the heat down to med-high. You only want golden brown! Using tongs, turning each piece until al dente.

 
6. Remove with tongs and place on a plate of paper towels. When done cooking, let the oil cool.
7. Arrange on a platter with a small bowl for dipping sauce (opt) I garnish with a few basil leaves. You can use ranch, thousand island, blue cheese or a cheese sauce for dipping. It is easy to make and delicious!
