1 pound carrots, peeled, cut into 2" chunks
Steam or microwave the carrots and cauliflower in separate pots until just tender.
Puree the carrots in a food processor or blender and return to their pot. Rinse the processor or blender container and puree the cauliflower; return to its pot. Puree the spinach; place in a small saucepan. To each vegetable add 1/4 cup of egg substitute and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
At this point, add the thyme to the carrots; the garlic and nutmeg to the spinach. Add 1/4 cup matzo meal or bread crumbs to each and puree.
Coat individual glass souffle cups or an 8" springform pan with olive oil cooking spray; sprinkle with matzo meal or bread crumbs.
Make layers in this order: first cauliflower, then spinach, then top with carrots. (The dish may be prepared a day in advance up to this point.)
Bake in a preheated 400°F oven 40 minutes for a large mold or 15 minutes for custard cups or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
To serve: Let stand 5 minutes before removing pan ring. Place on platter and if desired, serve topped with Fresh Tomato Sauce
