Gluten the Enemy

I have made an excellent quiche.

Quiche

Quiche is suitable snack, good for pic-nicks or could be a nutritious content of the lunch box.

Ingredients  for  2 persons

150g ½ tsp 70g 100ml  3 medium 1 cup 100ml 3 tbsp 1  2 medium 1 small 100g

gluten-free flour  mixture xanthan gum butter  water eggs milk Greek yogurt sliced green pepper sliced tomatoes chopped onion cubed cheese salt pepper

For this dish you can use doves farm plain gluten-free flour or I mix it with corm meal in 1:1 ratio. 

If you allergic to corn instead it buckwheat and potato starch mixture can be used.

Method:

1.     Making the base

·      Mix the flour, xanthan gum and the butter well then add the water carefully the pastry should be easily shaped.

·      Preheat the oven to 190-180 ⁰C .

·      Butter a 20- 22 cm diameter quiche dish and place the pastry into it. Taping with your wet hand cover the dish’s surface evenly with the pasty.

·      Place it into the oven for 10 minutes

2.     Making the stuff

·      Mix the eggs, milk and yogurt well using the hand whisk

·      Add the onion, cheese salt and pepper

3.     Take the base out of the oven and turn the oven down to 160 ⁰C

Pour the mixture into the pastry add the sliced peppers and tomatoes to decorate the quiche.

4.     Put it back to the oven for 25-30 minute.

In addition to the cheese you can use sliced ham, peperoni and mushroom. Another option to add mushroom, aubergine and pepper.

For kids or parties you can bake small quiches using the Yorkshire pudding dish or cup cake silicon tin. In this case the baking time decreases!
