The Magic Behind the Recipe
The magic of this Vegetable Quiche lies in its simplicity and the wonderful medley of veggies. Imagine a dish where grated carrot, zucchini, and potato combine with diced onion and crispy bacon to create a flavour explosion. The self-raising flour ensures your quiche rises perfectly, giving it a light and fluffy texture.
Eggs bind all the ingredients together, while a generous cup of grated cheese adds creaminess and a golden, melty top. For an extra touch of beauty and flavour, consider topping your quiche with slices of fresh tomato.
Vegetable Quiche: Tips and Tricks
- Grate Evenly: When grating your veggies, aim for a uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Drain Excess Moisture: If your veggies are particularly juicy, give them a gentle squeeze to remove excess moisture. This prevents a soggy quiche.
- Cheese Varieties: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, feta, or a mix for varied flavours.
- Herbs and Spices: Add herbs like parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of nutmeg for an extra flavour boost.

- Juice: Freshly squeezed orange or apple juice is a delightful choice for a brunch setting.
