Quiche With Salad Greens - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
For the crust
125 g flour (1 cup)
100 g whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 pinch salt
1 pinch sugar
150 ml lukewarm water
For the filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
200 g mixed salad greens, washed, dried and torn (e.g. rucola, endive, radicchio)
salt and pepper
60 g gorgonzola, crumbled (or other blue cheese)
4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds (or pine nuts)
To serve
1 tablespoon runny honey (optional)
Preparation
-
First make the dough: Combine both flours with yeast, salt and sugar in a big bowl. Add in the warm water and knead into a smooth dough.
Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until dough has doubled (about 40 minutes).
For the filling heat oil in a frying pan. Add in garlic and saute until slightly browned.
Add in salad greens and saute until slightly wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface roll out dough into a circle of 26 cm/10 inches in diameter. Place this in a greased springform pan and allow to rise again covered for 10 minutes.
Pour salad greens into crust and dot with the crumbled blue cheese. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds and parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven at 200\u00b0C/400\u00b0F for 15-20 minutes or until crust is baked through and filling nicely browned (you may need to cover the quiche after a while).
If you like drizzle with 1 tbs of runny honey before serving.
