Day 109 : OVEN-BAKED QUICHE

OVEN-BAKED QUICHE

This evening, I am going to make a simple Quiche. According to Wikipedia, a Quiche is basically an oven-baked dish, that is based on a custard made of eggs and milk (or cream) in a pastry crust. I'm gonna do this one without the pastry.

I am rummaging through the fridge and taking out whatever that I can find in the fridge. The Quiche can have any kind of fillings that is suitable for oven-baking, so just take out whatever You have that is ideal for the oven. This is a really, really, really easy dish to make.

3 simple steps :

1. Lay the base.
2. Build it up.
3. Seal it in.

1. Lay the base.
Oil the oven dish, from the base up to the sides,
with some olive oil or butter to ease washing up later.
 Slice the potatoes lengthwise. Lay them.

2. Build it up.

Scatter carrots (slices), tomatoes (slices), tuna (flakes), 
organic hulled millet (for a more filling dish), 
wakame seaweed, shallots and green olives.

3. Seal it in.
In a bowl, beat 3 eggs and add a coffee-mug of fresh milk. 
Add a pinch of seasalt into the mixture.
Pour the egg-milk mixture over the ingredients.
Shake some black pepper over it. 
Cover with aluminium foil.

Pop it into the oven at 180 degrees celcius 
for about 30 minutes.

I am using my mini-oven so I do not need to pre-heat it.
30 minutes later ...
Garnish with fresh carrots, cherry tomatoes and lime slices.
Squeeze lime juice over the quiche for a tangy taste.

Justine is having hers with cheese. 
The Quiche is hot from the oven 
and the cheese melts easily into it.

I am having mine with some ketchup!

We cut the Quiche up in into 4 squares. Justine had 2 slices, I had one. There was one slice left for Bryan when he arrived home at 10:30 pm. A simple French cuisine in your home! :D

I had my one shake of The Green Drink in the morning, 
sandwiches for lunch, instant noodles for tea (yikes!), 
snacked on nuts and Quiche for dinner.

To Sum Up
1 shake & 3 meals
Juice. No fruit. Hemoberry. Water. Coffee.
