    1½ cups chopped cauliflower
    ½ cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
    5 large eggs
    ½ cup low-fat milk, rice milk or soy milk
    1 teaspoon paprika
    ½ teaspoon salt

    Directions

    2. Lightly oil an 8-by-8-inch casserole dish or 9-inch pie pan with olive oil or butter.
    3. Spread onions evenly in the dish and place in the oven while you prepare the other ingredients.
    4. In a small bowl, beat eggs, salt and milk with a whisk. Remove dish from oven with mitts and spread cauliflower and cheese evenly. Pour egg mixture over cauliflower, onions and cheese.
    5. Sprinkle with paprika.
