Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.

- In a medium bowl, combine egg, Manchego cheese and season with sea salt. Stir in cooked cauliflower, combining well.
- Place four portions of cauliflower mixture on prepared baking pan. Shape each portion into a 4-by-4-inch square, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until firm in center and light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
- Spray one side of two slices of cauliflower with nonstick cooking spray; place, coated side down, on waxed paper. Top with shredded Gouda, followed by arugula and cheddar cheese. Top sandwiches with remaining cauliflower slices. Spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, cook sandwiches over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until cauliflower is lightly toasted and cheese is melted, turning once halfway through.
