Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pie crust
  • 1 tbsp chopped herbs
  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup grated cheddar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup cream
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder

Method
 

  1. Press the pie crust into a tart pan and sprinkle the herbs over it, then blind-bake 10 minutes.
  2. Steam the cauliflower until just tender.
  3. Whisk the eggs, cream, mustard powder, and most of the cheddar together.
  4. Arrange the cauliflower in the crust and pour the custard over.
  5. Top with the remaining cheese and bake at 375F for 30 minutes until set and golden.

Notes

Blind-baking the crust keeps the bottom from going soft.
