CAULIFLOWER FRITTATA



Ingredients:
1/2 cauliflower, only florets broken into small bits
2 leeks, halved and thinly sliced
4  fresh sage leaves
1-2 tsp. crushed garlic
1/3 bunch chard (approximately 1 1/2 cups), removed from stems and chopped
Olive oil 
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
Handful shredded Quattro Formaggio or Swiss Cheese
Small chunk mild blue cheese, broken/smushed into bits 
Splash Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Pepper 
8 eggs
1/2 cup non-fat milk 

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a square casserole dish with olive oil spray.

2.  Cover cauliflower and a splash of water in a bowl with microwave-safe plastic.  Nuke for 1 minute.

3.  In a large sautee pan over medium-high flame, heat some olive oil.  Add cauliflower, garlic, sage and leek.  Stir frequently for 5 minutes.  Turn heat off and add chard, stirring with tongs until chard is just wilted.  Remove sage leaves.

4.  Add cauliflower mixture to casserole dish.  Sprinkle with all cheeses equally.

5.  In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.  Pour into casserole dish.

6.  Bake for 30 minutes or until frittata is puffy and almost browned.  Serve with garlic bread and a green salad.

Notes:

*Increase likelihood of kiddos eating by covering each serving with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese (or gummy bears, or goldfish crackers, or whatever it takes).

*Kids can help by breaking off cauliflower florets, tearing chard off of stems, or whisking eggs.

*Tastes even better the next day!

*Go easy on the blue cheese, even if you really like it...it can overpower the more delicate flavors of the chard and cauliflower.
