Filling Ingredients:
5large eggs
1/2cup15% cream
1small cauliflowercut up into small florets
1/2cupfresh or frozen cranberries
4oz.grated cheddar
1/3lbbriecut up
freshly grated nutmeg
salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven for 375 degrees F.
Prepare the dough as directed for the recipe you are using. Form it into a round disk (it will chill better than if in a ball) and refrigerate for at least an hour.
While the dough is chilling, steam the cauliflower until tender.
Roll out the dough and line a 9 inch pie plate.
To prepare the filling: beat the eggs with the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the cauliflower, cranberries, and cheese (and meat if using) in the pie crust and our the egg mixture over it. Note: the cranberries may float but that’s ok!
Grate on nutmeg to taste.
Place the pie plate on a baking sheet with edges in case of any spills. Using the non stick aluminum foil makes cleanup much easier.
Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then turn down the oven to 325 and bake another 40 minutes or so. The filling should be set and a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Recipe Notes
You can add leftover ham, turkey, or crumbled bacon to this if you want. Without it, it can be served as a vegetarian option.
