Step-by-Step Professional Preparation
-
Preparing the cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower and cut only the florets into very small pieces (the size of a grain of rice or small dice). Finely chop the onion.
-
Technical cooking: In a nonstick skillet with the EVOO, add the onion. When it becomes translucent, add the cauliflower.
-
Healthy confit: Sauté over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes. You can cover the pan so the cauliflower cooks in its own steam and becomes tender without needing to add extra fat. It should be soft and lightly browned.
-
Preparing the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the black pepper, nutmeg, and the teaspoon of Bonsalt .
-
Mixing: Add the cauliflower and onion to the bowl with the eggs. Mix well and let rest for 2 or 3 minutes so the vegetables are well coated with the beaten egg.
-
Setting the omelette: Pour the mixture into the hot pan. Cook over medium heat until the edges are set, flip it with a plate, and finish cooking on the other side to the desired level of juiciness.
-
Serving: Serve hot as a main dish or cold as a healthy appetizer.
