Quiche

A slice of Quiche celebrates brunch at its best. You can transform your left-over ingredients into a new dish by mixing them with some eggs, cream and cheese. Some of my favourite combinations are brocoli and cheese, tomatoes and goat cheese, leeks, peppers and cheese or mushroom and cheese or bacon and cheese. All you need is cheese, right? : )

For the crust:
Mix together in a food processor:

• 250g all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 200g cold butter (cut in small cubes)
• 1/2 cup cold water (Add gradually as you may require more or less)
  

For the filling:
Mix together in a bowl:

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup of whipping cream or whole milk
• 1/4 cup grated cheese
• pinch of salt and pepper
• a big handful of the meat / vegetables of your choice
  

Roll the dough onto a pie dish, add the filling and bake at 375 F for about 30 min.

Most of the time, I use cheddar cheese in my filling. You can experiment with whatever you like. Also, if you usually use herbs in our omelettes, go ahead and add that also.

In this last one I made, I used leeks, a mix of colourful peppers and cheddar cheese. Serve alongside a hot tea on a cold day or fresh orange spritzer on a warm day.

Enjoy!
