Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large Red onion cut into rings
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric
  • 7 large Eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • ¼ cup feta cheese
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Thyme, fresh chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh basil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F degrees.
  • Thoroughly grease a spring-form cake tin and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  • Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat.
  • Add the red onion rings and gently cook until soft and tender.
  • Remove the onion from the frying pan. Set aside a few of the “good” onion rings as they will be placed on the top of the cake.
  • Rice the cauliflower by either grating it or running the florets in the food processor.
  • Place the cauliflower in the frying pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a large bowl, add the coconut flour, turmeric and baking powder. Stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked cauliflower rice, thyme, basil, Parmesan cheese, feta cheese, cooked onion and mustard. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add the beaten eggs, stir to combine and season with the salt and pepper.
  • Pour into the cake tin and place the reserved onion rings that you set aside on top of the cake.
  • Bake for 40 minutes until firm and golden brown.
  • Remove from the tin, eat and enjoy!
