Wash the cauliflower and cut it into small “trees”. Boil it in a pot for about 5 minutes and set aside.
Clean and chop the pepper, onion and garlic. In a pan with EVOO, fry until well poached (add parsley to taste in the last few minutes)
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the 200 ml of milk, paprika, nutmeg, parsley, pepper and salt. Then add the flour with the baking powder and make sure everything is well whipped.
Grease a baking dish with EVOO. Cook the cauliflower with the sautéed vegetables and mix well. Add the cream we have made and stir so that everything integrates well.
Put 30 minutes in the preheated oven at 180 degrees.
Take the tray out of the oven, spread the grated cheese on top and place the sliced tomato. Put it back in the oven on the grill for about 7 minutes, until you see that it is golden brown.
