Cauliflower, Spinach and Blue Cheese Frittata - Divalicious Recipes (2024)

A cauliflower, spinach, and blue cheese frittata is a savory and satisfying dish that brings together the earthy flavors of cauliflower, the freshness of spinach, and the rich tang of blue cheese.

I love frittatasbut sometimes the challenge is coming up with new fillings.Here I have used cauliflower which goes lovely with the blue cheese.

Carbs in Cauliflower

In a typical serving size of cauliflower, which is about 1 cup (approximately 100 grams) of chopped raw cauliflower, there are approximately 5 grams of carbohydrates. Out of these 5 grams of carbs, around 2 grams are dietary fiber, leaving about 3 grams of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) per 1 cup of raw cauliflower.

Ingredients

With just a handful of ingredients, you can make a frittata packed with flavor.

• Cauliflower - fresh or frozen florets can be used.
• Eggs - Room temperature eggs can blend more evenly with other ingredients, creating a smoother mixture. When the eggs are at room temperature, they incorporate better with the other components, ensuring a more uniform distribution of flavors and ingredients throughout the frittata.
• Spinach - fresh or frozen can be used.
• Blue cheese - There are several types of blue cheese, each with its own unique flavor, texture, and aroma. We used a Danish blue but Stilton or Gorgonzola are a great option too.
• Garlic - adds an additional flavor.
• Heavy cream - helps with a fluffy frittata texture.

How to make cauliflower frittata

This frittatais baked in a dish inthe oven which is a slight change for me. I normally cook my frittatasin a cast iron skillet, then finish off under the grill. This recipe in the oven worked out well, so I may start baking more frittatas from now on.

Storage

Allow the frittata to cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the fridge. Once cooled, cover the frittata tightly with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate within two hours of cooking.

Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes or warm them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

Recipe Tips

The cauliflower florets could be air fried or roasted before adding to the frittata.

If blue cheese is too strong for you, use a hearty Cheddar cheese.

Incorporate other ingredients for texture and flavor variation. Nuts like toasted walnuts or almonds, fresh herbs, or even crispy bacon bits can complement the cauliflower and blue cheese.

Freezing

For longer storage, wrap the cooled frittata tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can freeze it whole or slice it and separate the slices with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place it in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container.

When ready to eat, thaw the frozen frittata in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat individual slices in the microwave.
