Quiche

Ovo-veg, easy to make dairy-free



This is an easy, quick, pretty and delicious meal and works really well for potlucks.

Preheat oven 350-400F

Crust*
I use this oil crust recipe below

1. Mix 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp salt with fork.
2.  Beat 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup fridge-cold water with whisk or fork to thicken. Add to flour and mix with fork.
3. Press it into pie plate by hand and although it doesn't say, pre-bake it after poking some fork holes all over so that you will actually get a crispy crust (5-10 minutes seems ok in a hot oven)

Filling
1. Sauté veggies if using anything you want cooked before eating (onions, mushrooms and spinach are a rockin' combo). Something like tomatoes can just get sliced and added raw. Sweet peppers can go either way, but I think they really come to life in a gourmet way after being sautéed.
2. Whisk 4 eggs with ~1 cup "milk" (I use non-dairy, also try half yogurt), season with s/p and Italian herbs. Pour over veggies in crust.
3. Sprinkle with cheese if using, can top with fresh basil leaves - press them just under the egg mixture so they don't burn
4. Bake 30-40 min

* The crust can also be made out of thinly sliced potatoes. Line the pan with them, spray or sprinkle with a little water and pre-bake for ~10 minutes.
