Ingredients
Vegetarian Broccoli and Cauliflower Quiche
- For the dough
- 300 grams Pastry flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 180 grams butter
- 1 egg
- For the filling
- 400 grams Broccoli
- 400 grams Cauliflower
- 400 milliliters Whipped cream
- 5 eggs
- 125 grams grated Gruyere
- freshly ground peppers
- 1 pinch freshly ground Nutmeg
- 2 Tbsps slivered almonds
For the dough, mix the flour and salt on a work surface. Form a well in the center. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and distribute around the flour. Pour the egg and 2-3 tablespoons of lukewarm water in the well. Chop the ingredients with a large knife and quickly knead into a smooth dough. Form the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (approximately 400°F).
For the filling, rinse the broccoli and cauliflower, blanch in boiling salt water for 4-5 minutes, rinse in cold water and drain.
Whisk the cream and eggs. Stir in the grated cheese and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and line the buttered springform pans, forming an edge. Divide the broccoli and cauliflower between the pans and pour in the egg cream. Bake for 35-40 minutes. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, sprinkle with almonds. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
