No-crust quiche

“Using herbs and vegetables from the garden as the star ingredients for a weekend lunch is not only easy on the budget, but brings a real glow of satisfaction. Even if the herbs are the only contribution from the garden you can still claim some credit for growing as well as cooking. (Make a note to plant some silverbeet in a bucket on the balcony for next time.)”

Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 220°C and butter a 20cm shallow ovenproof serving dish.
2.Put the onion, salt and butter into a small, heavy-based frying pan, cover and set over a gentle heat. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and raise the heat a little. Stir regularly for another 10 minutes until the onion is soft and golden, but not browned. Set aside to cool.
3.In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and milk with the flour and the crushed garlic. Once the flour is incorporated, add the onion, potatoes, tasty cheese and greens. Mix gently with a spatula until everything is well combined then spread out evenly in the prepared dish.
4.Sprinkle over the grated parmesan and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Substitute chickpea flour (besan) and ½ tsp baking powder, if you want a gluten-free result. I used a mixture of spinach, silverbeet, sorrel, parsley, chives and tarragon. Leafy greens go in raw, but you’ll need to precook other green vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.
