Recipe: 
Serves 6

Ingredients:

8 eggs
1 cup cream
1 cup milk
2 tsp olive oil
1 whole small head of cauliflower, chopped into small pieces (about 1-1.5 lbs)
1/4 cup water
115 grams goat’s cheese (chèvre), crumbled into large chunks
salt and pepper

1 cup chopped chives
zest from 1 lemon
2 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Heat olive oil in a 10″ oven proof skillet (I used cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower and water. Cook for 5-10 minutes until cauliflower has softened. Drain and season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs, cream and milk together in a large bowl. Add to softened cauliflower. Quickly top with chunks of goat’s cheese, remove from heat and place in oven.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs have just set in the centre. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

For the gremolata, mix chives, lemon zest, and olive oil together in a small bowl. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

To serve, top frittata slices with chive gremolata.
