This is a great quiche recipe - high in protein, which we need every day, especially as vegetarians. It is quick and relatively easy to make. All good cooks can adapt this recipe to their own requirements and availability of certain ingredients - but it tastes the best using the ones I have suggested here. If the ingredients are organic, they will be that much better.

Ingredients

  • head cauliflower, cut into large florets: 1 piece
  • fresh mushrooms: 0.33333 cup (chopped)
  • green onions: 3 piece (chopped)
  • eggs: 5 piece (to taste)
  • half-and-half: 1 cup (to taste)
  • butter: 2 Tbsp
  • all-purpose flour: 2 Tbsp
  • Parmesan cheese: 0.5 cup (grated, optional)
  • ground turmeric: 1 tsp
  • salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • pinch curry powder: 1 piece (to taste)
  • pinch paprika: 1 piece (to taste, optional)
