Surprising Quiche image

If you're counting carbs, this one's for you: It's chock-full of veggies -- including the crust! It's wonderful for brunch, and I've even made it in a DeMarle cupcake pan for a ladies' luncheon, for easy individual servings. Try it -- you'll like it :)

Number Of Ingredients 13

CRUST
2 cup(s) shredded carrots
1/2 cup(s) grated radish
- salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup(s) flour**
2 tablespoon(s) olive or other vegetable oil
FILLING
8 ounce(s) cheese, grated or crumbled feta
8 ounce(s) broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup(s) chopped onion or scallion
3-4 - eggs
1 1/4 cup(s) yogurt
1/2 teaspoon(s) dill weed

Steps:

  • For the crust: Combine the prepared carrots and radishes with flour, salt and pepper, stirring with a fork until coated.
  • With your fork, press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a deep dish pie plate, that has been prepared with food release spray, to form the crust.
  • Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with the oil, and bake another 20 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking chop the onion and broccoli, and shred the cheese. Layer them onto the crust after the second 20 minutes in the oven.
  • Beat together the eggs, yogurt, and dill weed, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable and cheese layer.
  • Bake at 350 degrees 45-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest about 10 minutes. Serve.
  • NOTE: I choose large radishes, and use a box grater to grate them and shred the carrots.
  • **We're gluten intolerant, so I use Bob's Red Mill brand All Purpose Baking Flour, or Biscuit and Baking Mix. You could probably also use GF Bisquick. If you eat Paleo, almond flour would be a great substitute.
