Instructions

Place cauliflower florets on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Drizzle cauliflower with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast at 425F until edges have browned and softened. You should be able to easily pierce the florets with a fork.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add onions to the pan and sauté until browned.
Make the garlic mayo by combining garlic, mayo, and basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Once your ingredients are prepped, assemble the sandwiches by first spreading a thin layer of garlic mayo on one side of each slice of bread. Add a thin layer of cheese, cauliflower, and onions. Finish with another layer of cheese and the second slice of bread.
Grill sandwiches on a panini press or pan with butter until both sides of the sandwich are lightly browned and the cheese has melted.
