It may look like meat but its not! Lasagna

Spinach Pastry Vegetable Quiche

This is the first quiche I have made in years. I've forgotten how good they can be. Mixing your favourite vegetables with different cheeses.. I got inspired by finding spinach pastry in our local Swedish shop so decided to use that as my base..

300g Spinach pastry
1 small red onion
4 broccoli florets
1/2 courgette
1/3 small aubergine
1 small leek
1 red bell pepper
4 eggs
1/2 pint of milk


1.Preheat an oven to 200°C. Blind bake the pastry in the centre shelf of the oven for 10-15 minute until firm but without colour. Remove the blind baked pastry and set it aside while you prepare the filling.
2. I decided to roast the veg this time for my quiche so i chopped everything up, added a touch of soy sauce and balsamic and seasoned well with pepper, a pinch of salt and some mixed herds. Stuck in the oven until they were about half cooked.
3.Break the eggs into a bowl, beat them well then add the milk and a few more herbs and beat together.
Put the vegetable filling in the flan dish adding some of the cheese and add the egg mixture. Cover with remaining cheese and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the filling has set and the top turned a nice golden brown.
4. Its best to let the quiche cool down a bit before serving to let it completely set. You can eat it hot or cold.
