A Basket Full of Dinner (Simple Garden Quiche)

11/9/2013

On Tuesday afternoon I needed a quick and easy dinner, so I headed out into the garden with my basket to see what I could gather. I found a head of purple cauliflower, some small broccoli sprouts, a few tiny brussel sprouts and a spring onion that was about to go to seed. I pulled up one tiny carrot seedling to see if they were big enough to bother thinning yet, picked a couple of calendula flowers, some parsley and a few leaves off the silverbeet, and headed inside to create a meal.

Since we have copious amounts of eggs from the hens, I decided to make a simple garden quiche. This is incredibly simple, gluten free, and you can use any combination of veges you happen to have.

Ingredients:
A selection of vegetables - anything you like
Plenty of eggs
A little milk

Method:
Cut up veges into small pieces, and arrange in an oven proof dish.
Beat together eggs - at least two per person - with some milk added. The milk extends the amount of liquid, but don't go too far.
Pour egg mixture over veges, aiming to get everything at least wet but preferably mostly submerged. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
Bake at 180C/350F until set - approx 30-40 mins.

In this quiche, I used the spring onion, silverbeet, purple cauliflower, parsley and calendula petals.

I served the quiche with cubed boiled potatoes and a little butter, plus broccoli and brussel sprouts. Quick, simple, cheap and yum!
