Quinoa Crusted Quiche

This gluten free quiche is a favorite at my house and more importantly it's unbelievably simple to make. The best part is that you can add whatever types of veggies and cheeses that you're family prefers.

Ingredients

2-3 Cups of preferred veggies

7 eggs

1/2 Cup milk

2/3 Cup preferred cheese

1 1/4 Cup uncooked quinoa

1-1/2 Tablespoons butter (for greasing pie pan)

Village Harvest quinoa is fairly inexpensive

 

How to Prepare

 

Crust:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter and pour the uncooked quinoa into the pan. Press the quinoa evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. Don't fret if it seems thin. The quinoa will expand a bit when baking and makes a surprisingly dense crust.

 Press gently and spread evenly

 

Don't worry if it looks thin

 

The Filling:

In a large bowl whisk the eggs and milk together. Make sure to whisk briskly until there is a noticeable amount of bubbles. This ensures a nice, fluffy filling. Next, fold in your choice of veggies and/or cheeses.

 



Lots and lots of bubbles

 

 

Simply pour the filling into the pie pan and place in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

 

Yummy!!!
