If I can make that, then you can make it as well. So go get the ingredients and let's get started.
Ingredients:
1 layer frozen pastry dough ( you can make your own pastry as well but ….let's make it the easy way today)
3 colored peppers ( yellow, red, orange)
a couple of mushrooms preferably fresh
200gr yogurt
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 or 2 eggs( it depends on how big they are)
a variety of cheese ( I used parmezan, kaseri, graviera..the last 2 are Greek, but u can use any cheese you like as along as it melts) I also recommend not too salty ones and try to include a cheese that it's kind of sweet...gouda for example.
100gr of ham
black pepper, sweet paprica, nutmeg
olive oil
Preparation:
Place the frozen pastry in a pie plate. Poke the bottom and sides with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Cover the tart with baking paper and put a cup of beans on top of it.(we use the beans also to prevent puffing). Put it to the oven, in a medium temperature, and bake blind for 10-15 minutes. Remove the beans and the baking paper and put the tart to the oven to bake for a further 3-5 minutes. Let it cool outside the oven.
Meanwhile add 4-5 tablespons of olive oil in a fry pan, let it warm up a little, and put some black peper, some paprica and nutmeg. Toss them for a while and then add the peppers (yellow,orange,red), the mushrooms, the mustard and the ham .Saute those for 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the fire and place it into a mixing bowl. Add into the mixing bowl the eggs, the variety of cheese,the yogurt and a pinch of salt. Mix that up and place it to the baked pastry base. Cook it for 20 to 30 minutes, until the top of the quiche is browned.
The reason I used the spice's first on the fry pan is because that way you allow all the flavours and the taste of your spice's to be more intense.
This recipe is so adaptable! Like I said you can change the type of cheese, according to what you have on hand. Leave out the ham, use bacon as well. Instead of yogurt you can use fresh cream or even a compination of those two.You can also add other sauted vegetables too. Use shrimp, or chicken, or sausage. Just let your imagination go wild have fun with it. But don't forget to use the most important ingredient and that is LOVE.
