Description
Broccoli quiche is so easy to make and delicious that it will upgrade any meal you prepare for a festive day. This pie is satisfying, full of calcium and protein, and even kids love it! All that remains is to prepare and lick your fingers…
Ingredients
For the pastry
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ cup of water
- ¼ cup of oil
For the filling
- 400g of broccoli
- 1 leek
- 300g tofu (small packet), cut into cubes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to medium heat (about 180°C, or 350°F ).
- Mix the ingredients for the pastry together, until you have a dough. Grease your quiche pan or dish, and press the dough up and around the sides.
- Separate the broccoli into small florets and steam with a little water for about 15 minutes until tender (if you use frozen broccoli, soak for 5 minutes in boiling water).
- Chop the leeks and fry for about 5 minutes until lightly golden.
- Blend the broccoli with the rest of the filling ingredients in a food processor until well combined.
- Spread the quiche filling evenly over the dough, and bake for about 45 minutes. When ready, the top should be slightly soft, and it should get a little harder as it cools (if necessary, refrigerate for a few hours).
Notes
- The broccoli can be replaced with spinach, fresh or frozen – soak the spinach for 5 minutes in boiling water.
- Try adding 3 tablespoons of chopped dill to the filling.
