Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl with 120 ml of water, cover, and microwave until tender, 8 to 9 minutes. You can also boil or steam them until tender.
Drain the water, then mash the cauliflower with a fork until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower with 2 medium eggs, 100 g of grated cheese, the finely chopped green onion, 3 to 4 tablespoons of oatmeal, and sea salt to taste. Stir until well blended.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Using wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking, take about a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a 1/2-inch-thick round patty.
Place 5 or 6 patties in the pan and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Continue shaping and frying the patties with the remaining mixture.
Serve the patties immediately, on their own or with a sauce of your choice.
Serving Suggestions: Serve these patties warm with a side salad, as an appetizer with a dipping sauce like tzatziki or marinara, or as a side dish to complement your main course.
