Cauliflower quiche may seem like a simple idea, but when you use purple and yellow cauliflowers it becomes striking and wins you over at first sight.
This savory cauliflower tart was born from the desire to bring color, flavor and originality to the table, with an irresistible texture thanks to the combination of stracchino, Parmesan and a delicate melting cheese that ties every bite together.
The puff pastry crust with cauliflower makes everything even easier and faster: a few steps, zero complications and a rich flavor that pleases everyone.
The combination of the two cauliflowers is not just spectacular, it also brings out different flavors: the yellow cauliflower is sweeter and softer, while the purple is more intense and aromatic.
This cauliflower savory tart is perfect for a light lunch, a quick dinner or a starter that makes an impression. It’s also a great way to get people who usually avoid cauliflower to enjoy it.
In short, a cauliflower tart with plenty of good reasons to make it: colorful, creamy, easy, surprising and above all delicious.

Steps for the cauliflower quiche
To prepare the delicious cauliflower quiche WATCH THE VIDEO RECIPE
Thoroughly wash the cauliflowers under running water. Cut them into florets and cook them in a steamer pot for 8-10 minutes or boil them in plenty of salted water.
When cooked, let them cool. Once at room temperature, place in a bowl and dress with the extra virgin olive oil, half of the grated Parmesan, season with salt and toss.
Roll out the puff pastry onto a round pan 12.6 in (32 cm) lined with parchment paper. Cover with slices of the melting cheese, pour in the cauliflower and fill with the stracchino and the remaining grated Parmesan.
Bake in a conventional oven at 356°F for about 35 minutes until golden, or in air fryer mode at 356°F for 20 minutes or until golden.
After baking, let rest for 5 minutes and serve hot to enjoy the stretchy cheese.

The cauliflower quiche can be kept at room temperature wrapped in cling film or in an airtight container for 24 hours, or in the refrigerator for 3 days.
