2.In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

3.Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

4.Dip each cauliflower floret first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

5.Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
