"The advantage of the cauliflower is that if all else fails, you can always cover it with melted cheese and eat it." -William Simon
While this is called Cauliflower Pie, it is really very much like a crustless quiche. The best part of this dish is that it keeps really well and is actually tastier cold (in my opinion). Serve it any time of day: breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Servings: 4 | Serving size: 1/4 pie
Cooking Time: 90 Minutes
This recipe makes great leftovers and (in my opinion) is even better cold. Multiply this dish only by using multiple springform pans.
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Place the water in a large sauce pan fitted with a steamer basket over high heat.
When the water is boiling add the cauliflower.
Steam for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
While the cauliflower is steaming place the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
When the oil is hot add the white part of the leek and cook for about 2 minutes. Toss frequently.
Add the green part of the leek and cook for about 3 minutes. Toss frequently. Remove and let cool.
When the cauliflower is done, remove and let cool.
Place the eggs in a large bowl and whisk until frothy.
Add the cheese, salt and nutmeg.
Fold in the cooled leeks and cauliflower until well blended.
Place the mixture in a large pie pan or springform pan.
Bake for 60 minutes.
Serve.
