This quiche made with winter vegetables is the ideal dish for a warming meal.
Although quiche may have a more sophisticated sound to it, in truth, this savory pie is one of the simplest dishes that you may have in your collection of recipes. A warm and cozy vegetarian main dish is created by combining two traditional winter vegetables, namely the earthy kale and the rich sweet potato, as described in the following recipe.
By pre-roasting both veggies, you can assure that they will not leak any water into the lavish custard that is made with eggs. In addition, it caramelizes them, which adds even more taste. A dash of nutmeg and turmeric, which are warming spices, and a sprinkle of feta cheese, which is tart, are delicious finishing touches.
Because quiche can be eaten either warm or cold, you might want to think about preparing this specific quiche in advance. In this manner, you will be able to take pleasure in it on a night when you simply do not have the time to prepare dinner for yourself. Additionally, you are free to experiment with the flavors in order to create your own unique combinations, provided that you maintain the same proportions of vegetables, filling, and cheese throughout the process.
THIS WINTER QUICHE IS VEGETARIAN AND CONTAINS KALE AND SWEET POTATOES.
Ingredients
Directions
- The oven should be preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, combine the shallots, sweet potatoes, and approximately two teaspoons of coconut oil. Toss to combine. To prepare the kale, drizzle the remaining coconut oil over it, massage it thoroughly, and then set it aside.
- In a bowl containing sweet potatoes, sprinkle the turmeric, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and then toss the mixture thoroughly to blend the ingredients. Prepare a baking sheet with a uniform layer of the ingredients, and bake for ten minutes. The sweet potatoes should be tossed to ensure that they brown evenly, and the kale should be arranged on a rack that is placed over a baking pan. Continue baking the sweet potatoes and the greens for a further ten minutes. After removing from the oven, set aside to cool for a while.
- Make sure the oven is set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the unbaked pie crust inside of a pie plate that has been lined with parchment paper and measures 9 inches in diameter. Prick the entire surface with a fork, then set it aside.
- Eggs, milk, and cream should be whisked together in a bowl. Combine the veggies that have been allowed to cool with half of the feta cheese. The vegetable mixture should be poured into the pie crust, and then the egg mixture should be placed on top. The remaining feta should be used to finish.
- The quiche should be baked for forty-five to fifty minutes, or until the center is just set. First, let the dish cool for at least fifteen minutes before slicing it, then sprinkle it with chives, and finally serve it.
