Instrucțiuni

For the Crust:

Heat oven to 350˚.

Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor to create rice-sized pieces. Be careful not to over-process.

Mix cauliflower rice and remaining crust ingredients in a bowl.

Spread mixture evenly in a pie pan or an oven-safe cast iron skillet (for extra crispiness). Bake for 15 minutes.

For the Quiche:

Whisk all quiche ingredients together.

Pour egg mixture on top of crust, and bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set and firm. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy.
