Frittata with cauliflower and cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! While the recipe doesn't specify a type, cheddar, Gruyère, feta, or goat cheese all work wonderfully. A hard, aged cheese like Parmesan will give a stronger, saltier flavor, while a softer cheese like mozzarella will be more mild and melty.
Let the frittata cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best results, slice it before storing so it's easy to reheat individual portions.
Yes, this is an excellent low-carb and keto option. Cauliflower is a low-carb vegetable, and the eggs, cheese, and healthy fats from the olive oil align perfectly with a keto diet. Just ensure the milk you use is low-carb, like unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream.
The best method is to gently reheat it in a covered skillet over low heat with a tiny splash of water or broth to create steam. You can also microwave a single slice on medium power for 30-60 seconds, covering it with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
This recipe is already vegetarian! It contains no meat or fish, relying on eggs, cheese, cauliflower, and dairy for its delicious flavor and protein content.
It's delicious on its own for breakfast or brunch. For a larger lunch or dinner, serve it with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, a side of roasted tomatoes, or some fresh fruit like berries or melon.
Yes, you can freeze it. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. It will keep for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Ensure your pan is well-seasoned if it's cast iron, or use a reliable non-stick skillet. Make sure the oil is properly heated before adding the cauliflower. Let the bottom of the frittata set fully before you attempt to move or slice it; this creates a natural release.
