Reduce-food-waste-Quiche with sweet potato and feta cheese
Food waste is bad, I think we can all agree on that. A pleasant way to reduce your food waste is to make a Quiche. A Quiche can be varied endlessly with whatever you can find in your refrigerator. I'm thinking about all those bits and pieces that will soon transform into something fuzzy, mean, and totally inedible.
Ingredients
Tart dough
- 1/2 cup Wheat flour
- 1 1/2 oz butter
- 1 tablespoon water ice cold
- 1 pinch salt
Filling
- 1 egg
- 1/5 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
Instructions
- Mix flour butter and salt in a large bowl to a crumbly dough. Add water and knead until dough comes together. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to350ºF /180ºC.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of cling film to a thickness of 1/8 inch / 3 mm.
- Fit the dough into a small pie dish or whatever suitable heat resistant dish you can find. A small skillet will probably work fine.
- If you are planning to add root vegetables like sweet potatoes It can be a good idea to saute them for a minute or two before adding them to the filling.
- Beat together milk, egg, mustard, and salt in a bowl.
- Place all your fillings in the unbaked tart shell and pour the milk and egg mixture over everything. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese if you have. Any cheese will do.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the filling is just set.
Notes
I won't enter all the ingredients for the filling. The whole idea of this recipe is that you should use your imagination and what you can find in your own refrigerator. If you still want to do the same Quiche as I did, you can find the ingredients I used in the blog text above. But I will not give you the amounts because I don't remember that myself. ;-)
