Ingredients

Crust

1 medium cauliflower head cut into florets
½ cup walnuts
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon onion powder optional
1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Filling (as a guideline)

6 large eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
10 cherry tomatoes
4 oz artichoke hearts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Make the Cauliflower Quiche Crust

Grate the cauliflower or process in a food processor for a "rice like" texture.
Place in a microwave safe bowl, cover with cling film and cook for 7 minutes.
Remove, let it cool and then squeeze the water from the cauliflower mixture (I use a nut bag but you could use a tea towel for this too).
Pre-heat the oven to 375F/190C degrees.
Place the walnuts in a food processor and blitz until finely chopped.
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, walnuts, eggs and any flavorings. Season with the salt and pepper. Mix well.
Line a 8 inch pie dish with parchment paper or greaseproof paper.
Using a spoon, press the cauliflower mixture into the tin and around the edges. I simply place the mixture into the tin, then spread it out with a spoon until even.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until firm and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and keep the oven on at the same temperature

Make the Filling

Beat the eggs for your filling in a bowl and whisk in the cream. Season with the salt and pepper
Place the quiche fillings over your quiche case and pour the egg mixture over.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes until the egg mixture is golden and firm.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing to serve.

Makes 8 slices.
