Servings: 6-8


Ingredients

Crust:

  • 2 cups grated potatoes]
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup minced onion

 

Filling:

  • 1 medium cauliflower, broken into small florets
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cups grated Point Reyes Toma (8 oz)

Instructions

Make the crust:

  1. Place grated potatoes in a colander placed over a bowl. Toss the potatoes with ½ teaspoon salt and set aside for 10 minutes. Press out the excess water.
  2. Combine potatoes, beaten egg and onion in a medium bowl. Pat the potato mixture into the greased pie pan, building up the sides of the crust with lightly floured fingers.
  3. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown. Remove crust from the oven, and reduce the temperature to 350°F.

Meanwhile, make the filling: 

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add cauliflower to the water, and blanch, cooking for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. 
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon of salt and the pepper.  Set aside. 
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower, onions, garlic, and more salt, to taste. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and cook an additional 5-10 minutes, until cauliflower is fork tender.
  4. Remove from heat.

Assemble Quiche:

  1. Sprinkle half of the Toma over the potato crust. Add the cauliflower mixture, then the remaining cheese. Pour the milk-egg mixture over the top.
  2. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until set.
  3. Remove from the oven and serve.
