even my carb'o'holics loved it...

Cauliflower Quiche (makes 2 quiche--I was planning on leftovers, but they ate it all)

about 1/2 head of cauliflower, sliced-ish, sauted in olive oil until not raw with garlic and/or onions
1 dozen good eggs mixed with enough fat free sour cream to make about 1,000 ml
add various herbs and spices to egg mixture
grated, good quality baby or mild swiss cheese
chopped bacon (optional)
some more grated or sliced swiss

-------------
in the bottom of each crusts, sprinkle grated cheese (or, for Brenda, in the bottom of a lightly oiled pie pan, glass works best w crustless quiche ime)
add 1/2 cauliflower mixture
sprinkle bacon
add 500 ml of egg mixture
top with slices of cheese (thinly sliced and leaving holes int he top--I did one with small triangles of cheese not touching and one sort of lattice-like)
bake 350 until firm (I think about 30-45 min, but I put them in the oven and told the family to be sure to take them out when done, and who knows....)

Anyway, Nathan is heading back downstairs at 10:30 to eat a piece, I took 3 pieces to the library where Aidan and some friends were volunteening, and they ate it all up, Tynan ate two pieces...Louis has hidden a piece for his lunch tomorrow.........

Of course, Aidan and his friends were starving and may have eaten road kill at that point AND my kids have been living on fair food all week and their bodies must be dying for some healthful food about now. Anyway, it was a huge success, and three of them have said we should have a weekly quiche night.
