CAULIFLOWER QUICHE



Cauliflower Quiche image

This is a great quiche recipe - high in protein, which we need every day, especially as vegetarians. It is quick and relatively easy to make. All good cooks can adapt this recipe to their own requirements and availability of certain ingredients - but it tastes the best using the ones I have suggested here. If the ingredients are organic, they will be that much better.

"NEBRASKA, where I grew up, is a farming state, and we always had lots of vegetables at our table. This recipe has got to be one of the easiest and best-tasting ways to serve cauliflower. I have to admit that cauliflower is not a favorite vegetable with a lot of people-especially children-and that's why the addition of cheddar cheese makes it a winner every time!"

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE & BACON QUICHE



Cauliflower cheese & bacon quiche image

A lovely combination of cauliflower cheese and quiche Lorraine - make sure you pick the freshest cauli around

Provided by Ruth Watson

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

225g plain flour , plus extra for rolling out
140g cold unsalted butter , roughly cubed
1 large egg yolk
2-3 tbsp ice-cold water
1 small cauliflower , broken into smallish florets
100g thick-cut unsmoked streaky bacon , roughly chopped
3 large free-range eggs
284ml carton double cream
175g/6oz cheese , finely grated (combine two or three of the following: parmesan, cheddar and gruyère or emmental)
2 tbsp snipped chives
good grating of nutmeg

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, briefly whizz the flour with a pinch of salt in a food processor, then add the butter and whizz until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Whisk the egg yolk with 2 tbsp water and pour in. Process until the pastry forms a ball round the spindle, add a 1⁄2-1 tbsp water if necessary. Pat into a thick disc, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes or up to 48 hours.
  • Return the pastry to a cool room temperature. Roll out as thinly as you can and line a 4cm deep, 23cm round tart tin with a removable base. Tuck pastry into the corners, without stretching it, and trim off the overhang (watch our video which shows how to do this neatly). Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Line the pastry with foil (no need to prick pastry), weigh it down with ceramic or dried beans, then bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove foil and beans, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the pastry has lost all rawness but is still pale golden.
  • Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of salted water to boil, add the cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, timed from when the water's back to the boil. Drain well and leave to cool.
  • Spread out the bacon in a cold non-stick frying pan and cook over a low-medium heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fat runs and the bacon's coloured but not crisp. Leave to cool.
  • Combine eggs, cream, all the cheese, chives and nutmeg with black pepper and a little salt. Stir in the cauliflower and bacon, then pour the mixture into the case. Bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the filling is set but just trembles. Leave for 30 minutes, as quiche is at its best served warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a better flavor and texture than frozen cauliflower. If you are using frozen cauliflower, be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Grate the cauliflower finely: Grating the cauliflower finely will help it to cook evenly and will also make the quiche lighter and fluffier.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a quiche, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set. If you overcook it, the quiche will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Cheddar cauliflower quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its creamy texture and cheesy flavor, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
