Pour 2 tbsp. water into a microwave-safe container large enough to hold the cauliflower. Cover and heat on high for about 2 minutes. Check for doneness. If not fully cooked, continue on high heat for 30-second intervals until cauliflower is tender. Drain.

While cauliflower is cooking, heat some olive oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer, enough to cover the cauliflower pieces.

In a small mixing bowl, beat egg and milk together.

Put cracker crumbs in a small mixing bowl.

Dip florets in egg. Roll in cracker crumbs.

Fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain and serve.
