Lately, cauliflower has been used for pizza crusts and disguised as rice, but grinding it until it’s unrecognizable is unnecessary. The cruciferous vegetable is delicious whole, oven-roasted with olive oil or even raw with salad dressing. This recipe incorporates coconut milk, which enhances the creamy cauliflower, and toasted garlic elevates the flavor profile. Ground turmeric gives the quiche a gorgeous golden color, leaving the cauliflower in the spotlight, where it belongs.  

 

16 oz frozen cauliflower florets 

16 oz mozzarella cheese 

1 tbsp turmeric 

4 eggs
