Giant Cauliflower Cheese Puff image

Recipe comes from Molly Katzen's Sunlight Cafe. Keep this recipe in mind when you need a noteworthy brunch dish but you are not in the mood to fuss. All this requires is some cooked cauliflower and onions, and an egg mixture that gets whipped in the blender. Then put into the oven. Leftovers can be stored up to 5 days in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator and and reheated in a 350 degree oven or a microwave. The salt amount I am UNSURE of after the CHANGEOVER it said 3/4 t. salt but when I researched in online it said 1/4 t. so have changed it to 1/4 t. You can also SUBSTITUTE broccoli for the cauliflower and sharp cheddar for the goat cheese.
