Author Notes
This quiche is a fabulous vegetarian dish that is loaded with flavour. The caramelised onions provide a lovely sweetness which works well with the earthy mushrooms. It can be cooked up for a warming dinner and served with a crisp side salad, or heated as left overs for a nourishing lunch. —Jessica Cox
Ingredients
-
2
eggs
-
1/3 cup
rice bran oil
-
3 teaspoons
guar gum
-
1/2 cup
cauliflower florets
-
3
medium sized onions, finely sliced
-
8-10
brown swiss or button mushrooms
-
150gm
goats feta or goats curd
-
1/3 cup

6

Directions
-
Heat a frying pan on low heat and add the onions. Cook slowly to caramelised, which shall take around 20 minutes.
-
In the mean time, make pastry by combining millet flour, salt and guar gum. Make a well in the centre and add 2 eggs, oil and water. Combine well with a wooden spoon, then kneed mixture for a minute or two. Place in the fridge wrapped in cling wrap for around 30 minutes. Whilst the pastry is in the fridge, steam cauliflower until just tender.
-
Heat oven to 180c fan forced, or 200c gas. Take out the pastry and roll out with a rolling pin until about 3mill thick. Place in a baking or pie dish and then blind bake for 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven and scatter in pastry shell mushrooms, caramelised onions, steamed cauliflower and feta or goat’s curd.
-
In a separate bowl beat remaining 6 eggs and stir in milk of choice. Pour mixture into tart shell over vegetables. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and set into the middle. The tart will have a slight wobble yet should not be runny when cut.
-
Serve with a crispy green side salad whilst still warm.
