Preheat oven to 375 degree. Roll out dough and line 9-inch tart pan. Pierce around the crust with a fork so it does not bubble. Bake in oven for 10 to 12 minutes, set aside.
Filling:
Cut cauliflower, onions, and the shallots in paper-thin strips. Sautee in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat for 10 minutes or until start to soften and turn golden brown. Add thinly sliced cauliflower to onions and leek for an additional 7 minutes. Sautee until soft.
In bowl, mix whole milk, eggs, nutmeg, and salt and pepper (to taste) until fluffy and well incorporated. Grate cheese and add to milk. Add vegetables to crust and pour over milk mixture.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until set and golden brown.
