I picked some fresh green broccoli from Mums garden (which I’m currently looking after) and wanted to make something other than a calabrese broccoli with it, so decided on a manly quiche, because real men eat quiche right? Initially I thought of adding all sorts of things in it, but I was persuaded to keep it simple. No Kale, no smoked bacon, no spinach…..just broccoli, egg and feta. But I couldn’t help sneak in some smoked piminton, butter fried leek and grated peccorino.
I’ve always thought that quiche is a bit of a ladies meal….it involves pastry which I fail dismally at. The word quiche invokes a scene of older ladies at a cafe sharing gossip and drinking tea. And besides that I despise any meal that involves me making pastry from scratch. It’s one of my pet hates. Luckily for me Kate knows how to make short crust pastry and whipped me up a batch for my quiche the night before.
She rolled out the pastry and the following day and before long it was ready to use, even though it split on the edges in the freezing conditions. With a little pastry know-how the split edges where fixed, the oven tray was lined and baking ensued. A team effort.
It was a winter triumph! The Brady bunch troop was feed and we even had left overs.
In cooking and in life I find that simple and less complicated is the best approach….but next time I make this quiche, smoked bacon WILL be added. ;-)
it looks like a wonderful quiche. ps. I must say I fell in like with your pictures and words. can’t stop reading. x
I love a good quiche, and this one looks like a winner for sure. Also I love the photo of Kate’s hands, they look like they’ve been on adventures.
I really love the photography and lighting in your post. My kids don’t care much for Feta cheese, what would you recommend substituting that’s more unique than everyday cheddar?
Oh my gosh. The very thought of this is making my mouth water, and I’ve only just had dinner!
P.S Add the bacon! (I love it too)
really beautiful Ro, like that part about keeping it simple
Good god I love your photography. You always inspire me to take it more seriously, and I *always* feel better about life after reading your blog!
That looks amazing! I love whipping one of these up for breakfast on the weekend or for an easy weeknight meal.
I still call it egg pie. Add some bacon, its egg and bacon pie
i bet that tasted really good!:D
Oh it did!!!
I love quiche! But I am abysmally bad with pastry too, so I go crustless. :)
Dude…what is it with pastry and dudes!!!
