The cauliflower quiche may seem like a simple idea, but when using purple and yellow cauliflowers, it becomes surprising and captivating at first glance.
This savory pie with cauliflower springs from the desire to bring color, taste, originality, and an irresistible texture to the table, thanks to the combination of stracchino, parmesan, and a delicate melting cheese that binds every bite.
The base of puff pastry with cauliflower makes everything even easier and quicker: few steps, zero complications, and a rich flavor that pleases everyone.
The combination of the two cauliflowers is not only scenic but also enhances different flavors: sweeter and softer for the yellow cauliflower, more intense and aromatic for the purple cauliflower.
This cauliflower savory pie is perfect for a light lunch, a quick dinner, or an eye-catching appetizer. It’s also a great way to make cauliflower appealing even to those who usually avoid it.
In summary, a cauliflower savory pie with good reasons to make it: it’s colorful, creamy, easy, surprising, and above all, delicious.

Thoroughly wash the cauliflowers under running water. Cut them into florets and cook in a steamer for 8-10 minutes or boil in abundant salted water.
After cooking, let them cool. Once at room temperature, put them in a bowl and season with extra virgin olive oil, half of the grated parmesan, adjust salt, and mix.
Roll out the puff pastry on a 32 cm round pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with slices of melting cheese, pour the cauliflower, and top with stracchino and the remaining grated parmesan.
Bake in a static oven at 356°F for about 35 minutes until golden brown, or in air fryer mode at 356°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
After cooking, let it rest for 5 minutes and serve hot to enjoy the melting cheese.
