Baked Persian Cauliflower Omelet
Kuku is a Persian frittata that’s customarily flavored with an abundance of fresh herbs. In this version, we add sweet, buttery cauliflower, along with onion and garlic for savoriness. A few earthy spices add depth of flavor and lemon zest keeps things bright. A small amount of flour helps keep the eggs tender, and baking powder provides a little lift that keeps the texture light. The omelet is best served warm or at room temperature.

Tip
Don't add the flour directly to the eggs. Mixing it first with the seasonings will prevent it from clumping. When removing the skillet from the oven, don't forget that the handle will be hot. Make sure to use a potholder or oven mitt.

Easy and delicious
Tried this for a fast and healthy weeknight meal and was impressed with the flavor. We paired it with crusty bread and a salad. Yum!

Was making this and realized I had no mint. I substituted dry dill since the Iranians use that in so much. It was really good.
