  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into small florets
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option
  • 1/4 cup milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower
  • Cook the Cauliflower: In a medium pot of boiling salted water, add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
  • Sauté Onion and Garlic: In an oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Step 3: Combine Ingredients
  • Mix Eggs and Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add Cauliflower: Gently fold in the cooked cauliflower florets into the egg mixture.
  • Step 4: Cook the Frittata
  • Combine in Skillet: Pour the egg and cauliflower mixture into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  • Cook on Stovetop: Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the edges to set.
  • Step 5: Bake
  • Transfer to Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.
  • Step 6: Serve
  • Cool and Slice: Once done, remove the frittata from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  • Variations
  • Add Vegetables: Feel free to incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Cheese Variations: Swap the Parmesan for feta cheese or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Protein Additions: Add cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for a heartier dish.
