Coat the Cauliflower
Dredge each cauliflower floret in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat the floret in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Repeat this process for all florets.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

Fry the Cauliflower
Carefully place the breaded cauliflower florets in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
