Slice the cauliflower in half straight through, leaving the stem portion of each half intact. Carefully slice the two hemispheres, through the stem portion into 1/2" thick steaks. It won't be perfect, some might fall apart, don't worry about it.
Whisk together 1/3 cup of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place the cauliflower steaks and marinate in a large shallow pan or large gallon size zip lock bag. Coat the cauliflower well and marinate for at least 1/2 hour, up to 6 hours.
Whisk the eggs in a pie tin, or similar large flat, shallow dish. In another shallow dish whisk together the flour with a teaspoon of salt and pepper, to taste.
In a heavy bottom pan, or dutch oven, heat 2" of ultra fresh, High Polyphenol (300 ppm+) VSOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
First dredge the marinated cauliflower in the seasoned flour. Dip each steak into the whisked eggs, then dip into the bread crumbs.
Fry the coated steaks on each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to drain on a rack or paper towels before serving. Adjust seasoning by adding more salt and/or pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
