Recipe

Puff pastry stands in for the usual quiche crust here, which means shatter instead of crumble. The filling is a pesto-laced egg custard with broccoli, peas and shallot — green on green, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Five servings that work as well for breakfast as they do at room temperature later in the day.
1 | package defrosted |
|---|---|
1 | cup cooked |
1 | cup cooked |
2 -3 | tablespoons (homemade or store bought) |
8 | egg |
1 | minced |
| • | |
| • | pepper |
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 400°F. |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a pan, sauté the minced shallot for a few minutes. Add the cooked broccoli, peas, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to enhance the flavors. Allow the mixture to cool. |
| 3. | Prepare a floured pie dish and place the defrosted packet of puff pastry into it to prevent sticking. |
| 4. | In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Add in the pesto sauce, salt, pepper, and the cooled vegetable mixture. Pour the combined mixture onto the puff pastry in the pie dish. |
| 5. | Bake the quiche for 30-40 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set in the center. |
| 6. | Adjust the oven temperature to 350°F if necessary to prevent over-browning of the crust. It should be golden brown and crisp when ready. |
| 7. | Et voilà, Bon appétit! |
