I used packaged chopped cauliflower (rice) and it worked great. If making recipe for two and using a 10 in pan, cook time can be reduced to about only 10 minutes.
0 HelpfulRating only for the frittata, as we don't like radishes. Made exactly as described in a cast iron pan. Delicious and easy, our guests loved it!
0 Helpfulneed to spice up the frittata--pretty bland with the cauliflower. Maybe broccoli next time?
0 HelpfulAdded a bit of salsa to the top instead of sour cream, which gave it a bit more moisture and a tangy/spicy flavor.
