In a large bowl, combine cauliflower flour, riced cauliflower, cheeses, spices and salt until resembles a sticky paste.
Add egg whites and water and stir to combine. If too dry, add more water, a teaspoon at a time until resembles a thick dough.

NOTES
MAKE IT VEGAN: Substitute the eggs whites with one flax egg or JUST Eggs.
To make a flax egg, combine one tablespoon ground flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Mix together, and let sit in your refrigerator for 15 minutes to set up and thicken.
If using JUST Eggs, 3 tablespoon of the liquid equals one egg.
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
Add Vegetables, Fresh Herbs or Chopped Nuts
Add diced bell pepper, chopped celery, onion, parsley, cilantro, or chopped walnuts to the burger mixture.
If you do add fresh herbs, use only one type. More than one would be overpowering.
