Greens and Herbs Quiche

One of the things that I like the best of having my own vegetable garden is to make meals with what I have. I found that I was having a little bit of everything, and voila!...a delicious quiche was made.

Greens and Herbs Quiche

Dough

300 grams of flour

160 grams of butter

1/2 teaspoon of salt

water as needed

Combine flour, salt, and butter. Add  water as needed to create a soft and firm dough. With a roller pin, roll it as "book" like when doing puff pastry. Let it rest 30 minutes in the fridge. Repeat the "book" rolling three times, with a rest of 30 minutes in the fridge in between rolling.

With a roll pin, flatten it to 4 mm thickness. Place it in a oven round mold. Bake it at 375F for 20 minutes, or until it is half way baked. Set aside.

Filling

Mix of herbs and greens. I used oregano, dill, thyme, swiss chard, green onions, parsley, cilantro, spinach, and beet leaves.

100 grams of parmiggiano cheese grated

6 eggs

3/4 cup of milk

1/2 cup of cream

1 tsp Salt 

Pinch of Pepper

Pinch of Nutmeg

Slices of your favorite cheese to put on top. I used kashkaval

Wash and chop the herbs. Set aside. Mix the eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. 

On the quiche pastry, distribute the Parmiggiano reggiano cheese. Distribute on top the mix of greens and herbs. Place the egg/mil/cream mixture on top. Bake it at 375F for 20 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, place on top your favorite cheese. ENJOY!
