This Savory Cauliflower Tart combines the delicate flavors of roasted cauliflower and aromatic herbs, set in a buttery almond flour crust. It's a low-carb twist on a classic French dish, perfect for satisfying your savory cravings without the carbs.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Butter - 50 grams, melted
• Eggs - 2 large
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Heavy cream - 50 ml

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, one egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
5. Blind bake the tart crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and set aside.
6. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Add the steamed cauliflower and thyme to the skillet, stirring gently for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
8. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and heavy cream until smooth. Add the cauliflower mixture and stir to combine.
9. Pour the cauliflower filling into the pre-baked tart crust, spreading it evenly.
10. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
