- To the mashed cauliflower, add the eggs, grated feta cheese, grated zucchini, chopped greens (onions, dill, and parsley), whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients until well-combined.
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil and transfer the cauliflower mixture into it. Use a spatula to flatten the mixture evenly.
