You can make two individual quiches like I've done here, or you can make one larger one, it depends on what oven-proof dishes you have handy.
I was lazy today and used ready made (shop-bought) gluten free pastry, but you can make your own instead if you prefer.
This quiche is lovely served with a small side salad.
Serves 2
100g petit pois peas (frozen)
100g broadbeans (frozen)
50g samphire
400g shortcrust pastry
1 tablespoon oil for greasing the dish
1 egg
100ml double cream
250g mozzarella cheese
a large pinch of dried mixed herbs
a pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Turn the oven on to 180oC and let it pre-heat while you make the quiche.
Bring water to the boil and add the peas and broadbeans. Let them simmer for 5 minutes before adding the samphire, then simmer for another 4 minutes. Drain.
Grease your oven-proof dish(es) and place the pastry in it. I'm lazy and tend to just press it out into the dish, but you could do it properly and use a rolling pin to roll it flat then add it. Up to you. Make sure the corners don't get too thick and clumpy.
Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and scatter on the base. Grate some black pepper over it, and then add the boiled greens.
Mix the egg and the double cream in a bowl, and add a large pinch of dried mixed herbs. Pour this mixture over the quiches.
Place in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes until the egg and cream mixture has set.
