Easy Cauliflower Frittata

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower head
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: roasted tomatoes and fresh chives to garnish
  • 1/4 cup milk

Directions

  1. 1
    Clean and separate the cauliflower into florets. Bring a pot with salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until fork tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add drained cauliflower florets and using a fork, or a masher, press the cauliflower just enough to break down larger pieces. Do not mash it, unless you're really trying to hide it. Fold in the cheese.
  3. 3
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. 4
    Heat the oil in a 6 or 8-inch cast iron skillet or an ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower egg mixture and distribute the filling evenly. Cook until the bottom is just brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until frittata is set on top, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
  5. 5
    Slice into wedges and serve warm.
