When my grandmother taught me how to make quiche, she explained to me that it's such a simple plate to make and is guaranteed to impress guest. They'd never guess how simple it is to throw this recipe together!
Ingredients needed:
-5 eggs-a leek
-a bunch of broccoli
-a can of evaporated milk
-250 grams of grated 4 cheese
-1 pack of pre-made dough
-1 tomato
-pepper and salt to taste
If your dough was in the freezer, make sure to leave it in the fridge overnight to thaw. Then remove it from the fridge and allow it to get to room temperature. When ready, lay the dough out, sprinkle some flour on it and the rolling pin and roll it out. This is my preference, because I really don't care for thick crust. If you like your crust thicker, then skip this step. Place the dough in the pie tin and roll up the excess sides and then pinch it going all the way around. This is just to make the quiche look pretty! Set to this aside and begin making the filling.
Beat 5 eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the evaporated milk and mix some more. Clean the leek well, as there is a lot of dirt hidden in the top layers. Cut both ends of the leek and slice nearly to the end where the roots were. Run the leek under water until all the dirt has come out. Then slice it up and add it to the mixing bowl. Open the pack of cheese and throw that in too. Wash the broccoli and cut the floral part off, breaking it into small pieces with your fingers and add. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir all of these ingredients together and then pour them into the pie tin.
Slice up a tomato and decorate the top of the quiche with it. Sprinkle some salt on the tomatoes and stick the quiche in the preheated oven.Bake at 180 C (355 F) for 30 minutes. Make sure to dip a toothpick in after the 30 minutes are up. If it comes out clear it's done. If it doesn't, bake it for a little more. Allow to sit before serving. Eat hot or at room temperature.
I hope that you enjoyed this long awaited recipe. It's super easy! You can make a quiche out of anything you want. The basic ingredients are eggs and evaporated milk. From there you can experiment with different kinds of cheese, sliced meat, vegetables, smoked fish, you name it!
Enjoy and keep having fun in the kitchen!
