To end the weekend, I suggest you prepare a quiche today. A brussels sprouts quiche that will allow you to introduce this food into the diet of those most reluctant to try it. The flavor once cooked the quiche will be smooth and its creamy texture will also help convince them.
The Quichés they are a great resource in the kitchen. And they are for many reasons. The first is that they allow us to take advantage of those ingredients that we have in the fridge or pantry about to go bad. The second is that they are simple to prepare And they can also be cooked in advance.
At home we are used to cooking quiche as a starter when we have guests. We can prepare them in a few minutes and keep them warm in the oven. But it is not necessary to wait for guests to cook them; If you want to leave your food ready in advance to dedicate the morning to other activities, they are a great option. Do you dare to prepare it?
- 1 teaspoon of butter
- 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup of grated cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 sheet of shortcrust dough, breeze dough or ours quiche dough
- We preheat the oven at 190ºC
- We place the broken dough on a metal mold and we press lightly with the fingers so that they fit to the sides. Once adjusted, we cut by edges and prick the bases with a fork.
- We fill with chickpeas the mold to prevent the dough from rising and we take it to the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes we remove from the oven and reserve.
- While the dough is in the oven, put the butter and oil in a pan and heat over medium heat.
- We sauté the cabbages brussels sprouts for 2-3 minutes, until smooth. Then we remove from the heat and let them warm up.
- In a bowl we beat the eggs and milk until smooth.
- Now, we add the cabbages of Brussels, the cheese, the salt, the black pepper and the nutmeg and mix.
- We pour the mixture into the mold and bake for 40 minutes, or until the center is firm.
- We enjoyed the brussels sprouts quiche.
