Servings: persons

For the Crust:
2C (packed) grated raw potato
1/4 C grated onion
1/2 t. salt
1 egg white lightly beaten
flour for your fingers
a little oil
For the Filling (Prepare while crust is baking):
1 medium head of cauliflower chopped small
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 to 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1
The Crust:
2
Heat your oven to 400f. Generously spray a 9 inch pie tin with pan spray. Combine grated potatoes and onion, salt and egg white in a small bowl and mix well. Transfer to the pie pan and pat into place with lightly floured fingers building up the sides into a nice crust. Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven, brush the crust with a little oil and return to bake for about 10 minutes more. The oil will help crisp up the crust a bit. Remove from oven and turn your oven down to 375f.
3
The Filling:
4
Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet. Add onion, garlic. salt, pepper and thyme, and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, stir and cover. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally (about 8-10 min.) Spread half the cheese onto the baked crust. Spoon the sauteed vegetables on top, then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Beat the eggs and milk together, and pour this over the top (this mixture will not completely cover the cauliflower, but it is enough). Bake 35-40 min, or until set. Serve hot or warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
