Notes
The original recipe listedĀ servings 2-3, but depending on the rest of your menu and appetite, serving 4 seems more appropriate.
Variations could include substituting other vegetables or the addition of a little cheese.
We made this for breakfast this morning and really liked it. Their is still texture because the cauliflower doesn’t have time to get mushy. I’m a big fan of cinnamon in egg dishes anyway and I didn’t miss the crust of a quiche at all.
