Cauliflower Crust Spinach and Feta Quiche

1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets - about 4 cups of cauliflower rice)

½ tsp dried oregano

¼ tsp garlic powder

  • In a food processor chopped the florets into small pieces similar to rice.

  • Transfer cauliflower to a bowl and microwave on high for 8 min. Wait for the cauliflower to cool about 10 min or longer so as not to burn your hands when squeezing the liquid out. 

  • Place the cauliflower in a tea towel and twist it to squeeze as much liquid as you can, about 1 cup of liquid. 

  • Transfer dry cauliflower to a bowl, add Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix until a dough forms.

  • Transfer cauliflower mixture to the baking dish, smoothing it out with your hands and making sure to spread it evenly to cover the bottom and the sides of the dish.

  • Bake in a middle shelf of the pre-heated oven for about 15 to 20 min, until the edges are brown and the overall crust is golden.

  • Transfer to a rack and allow to cool while you prepare the quiche filling.

TIPS

Very important to squeeze as much liquid as possible from the cauliflower, does not have to be absolutely dry like flour, but not too wet.

* You could use 2 egg white and 2 egg yolk instead of the 4 egg yolks for the filling. But it will be less creamy
