This quiche is a great make-ahead breakfast or brunch option. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but I actually really enjoyed this quiche. The cauliflower flavor was subtle and it didn't overpower the other ingredients.

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I had some leftover from making cauliflower rice and I didn't know what to do with it. This quiche was the perfect solution!
