  1. 1

    Dip cauliflower first in flour, eggs, then coat with panko

    Fill a large skillet with half inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cauliflower in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown. Transfer fried cauliflower pieces to a paper towel-lined plate.

    Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle one third of the Parmesan over sauce. Scatter half cauliflower mixture over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
