Ingredients

    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    16 oz frozen Cauliflower florets

Tips

This is a great dish in place of quiche for any meal.


Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Generously coat a 9-13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut along the seam of the cauliflower and spinich bags respectively, toss in the microwave to heat/thaw for 4-5 minutes. Empty spinach in a colander and press into colander with the back of a wooden spoon to squeeze out liquid. Let sit while you rice the cauliflower. Add warmed cauliflower to a food processor and pulse pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater or just chop it finely).
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl. Add riced cauliflower, spinach, cheese, pepper and salt to the bowl and stir to combine.
Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Stir into the veggie mixture. Transfer to the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie until lightly browned in spots, about 25-30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into large squares.
