This quiche is made with a crunchy no-butter oat crust and a lighter filling using almond milk instead of cream. If your family members are not so keen on cauliflower, here is your chance to reconcile them with this lovely vegetable. Grated into the filling, its soft, almost sweet flavour combines nicely with the almond milk to delicately enhance the flavour of the chalky goat's cheese chunks. As good for your palate as it is for your health.
