Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 bell pepper
- 3 eggs
- 300 milliliters (10.1 fluid ounces) milk
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) cheese (grated)
Flour and Leavening Agents:
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) wholemeal flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Seasonings and Garnish:
- Olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Chives for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all vegetables by grating potatoes, onion, and carrot, then finely chopping bell pepper for optimal texture and even distribution.
- Create a vegetable base by mixing grated ingredients with olive oil and salt, ensuring vegetables are well-coated and seasoned.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate container, creating a smooth liquid foundation for the quiche mixture.
- Combine the egg mixture with the seasoned vegetables, stirring thoroughly to integrate all components.
- Gradually incorporate wholemeal flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients, mixing until a consistent, thick batter forms without lumps.
- Generously grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased dish, using a spatula to spread evenly and create a uniform surface.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 45 minutes, allowing the quiche to set and develop a golden exterior.
- Carefully remove the quiche and sprinkle grated cheese across the top, covering the entire surface for maximum flavor.
- Return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, watching until cheese melts completely and turns a rich, golden brown.
- Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped chives, adding a pop of color and fresh herbal notes before serving.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from grated vegetables using a clean kitchen towel to prevent a soggy quiche texture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like feta, gouda, or mozzarella for unique flavor profiles.
- Make this dish gluten-free by substituting wholemeal flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour blend.
- Boost protein content by adding cooked diced chicken or crumbled tofu for a more substantial meal option.
