Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced leek and cook for about 3-5 minutes until softened.
- Add the cauliflower florets and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower starts to become tender.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. Stir occasionally to combine all the vegetables evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and light sour cream until well combined.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, making sure to distribute it evenly.
- Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set and pull away slightly from the sides of the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top.
- Check with a toothpick or knife inserted into the center; it should come out clean when done.
- Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious cauliflower, blue cheese, and spinach frittata!
Tips:
- Pre-cook the cauliflower: To ensure that the cauliflower is tender and evenly cooked, you can steam or blanch it for a few minutes before adding it to the frittata.
- Use fresh spinach: While frozen spinach can be used, fresh spinach will give a better texture and flavor. Make sure to wash and dry the spinach thoroughly.
- Season well: Don't forget to season the vegetable mixture as it cooks to ensure every bite is flavorful. Be mindful of the saltiness of the cheeses when adding salt.
- Avoid overmixing the eggs: Gently whisk the eggs to combine them with the sour cream without overworking them, which can make the frittata tough.
- Cook on a low, gentle heat: Cooking the frittata slowly on a low heat will help it set evenly without burning the bottom.
- Finish in the oven: For an evenly cooked top and a slightly browned finish, place the skillet in a preheated oven towards the end of cooking.
- Let it rest: Allow the frittata to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
