Maui Quiche Recipes

CRUSTLESS QUICHE WITH CAULIFLOWER AND HERBS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat Oven to 425 F.
• 2. Saute the cauliflower sliced in olive oil until tender; then set aside.
• 3. Saute the onions and celery until caramelized.
• 4. Stir in all the herbs and saute a minute or two more until they're wilted. Be sure to go light on the lavender, but don't leave it out. Too much lavender can ruin it, but just enough adds a lovely aromatic note.
• 5. Spread the onion-celery-herb mixture evenly in a quiche pan, then top with cooked cauliflower slices. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
• 6. Whip the eggs and coconut milk until smooth.
• 7. Pour egg mixture over the vegetables.
• 8. Top evenly with grated champagne cheddar. (I found this cheese at the grocery store. I'm sure there are several brands, but I used Deitz & Watson.)
• 9. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden on top.
• 10. Garnish with tomato slices and chives.
• 11. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve immediately. (The sea salt flakes were a gift from my daughter that she got while in Paris a few years ago.)
