My aunt gave me this recipe, and as I was making it I felt I was making a quite boring omelette but it turned out I wasn't. It was very very yummy!
Yesterday I had it on it's own for dinner, today I'll have a smaller portion plus Brussels sprouts with cream cheese.
Very easy to make too, so here's the recipe (and forgive me my clumsy translating):
1 small cauliflower, in not too small pieces
6 eggs
4 tablespoons creme fraiche (or whatever it's called in English. It's the sour 30% fat cream. And I guess I used more than 4 spoons, as you can heap lots of the goodness on a tablespoon if you try hard)
2 big tablespoons mustard
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (I love the stuff and I didn't measure in teaspoons so it could have been a lot more)
chives (recipe says 3 tablespoons, but again I like chives so used more)
150 grams smoked scamorza. Apparently that's some sort of Italian cheese. Even if I would have been able to find it, it would have been way to expensive to use in a casserole. Your cheap garden variety of finely cut smoked cheese tasted just fine.
75 grams of mature Gouda (or Cheddar, or whatever you happen to have on hand. My scales are useless for anything below 100 grams, so no idea how much I used)
black pepper and a bit of salt
Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius.
Cook cauliflower for 5 minutes with a bit of salt.
mix eggs, mustard, creme fraiche, paprika, pepper.
Add most of the cheeses and the chives.
Fry the cooked cauliflower in butter or oil until slightly browned.
put cauliflower and egg mixture in something you can put in the oven and put rest of cheese on top. I also added more smoked paprika because it looks pretty. (I used one of those round cake things where you can remove the side, as it makes quite a firm fritatta so you can cut slices from it)
Put in oven for about 15 minutes or until the thing isn't runny anymore.
Not sure how many carbs but I didn't need insulin for it
Eet smakelijk!
