I’ve got SO MUCH I’d love to talk to you about; I just don’t know where to start! Also I’m not sure in which direction I wanna take my blog… making it more personal, informative, or recipe oriented.
So, until I figure this out and before getting all my thoughts on paper, here’s a recipe of my dinner tonight! Because you HAVE to try this! I made it for my mum and me to share; it’s a huge plate full, very easy to make, very healthy AND not a lot of calories for all you out there watching your daily intake ;-)
Side note: I grew up eating eggs in various dishes at dinner. We never ate eggs for breakfast (maybe once a year at Easter). I was surprised to come to the States and eat a crustless (eggy) quiche for breakfast nearly every morning! So I guess this is a breakfast-lunch-dinner-snack kinda recipe, eat it whenever you’d like ;-)
Take a 9 inch quiche dish and spread one tbsp of extra virgin palm oil (I love this! But if you can’t find the healthy extra virgin organic stuff, use butter or coconut oil instead.) on the bottom and sides of the dish. The brand I use is Amanprana – Red Palm Oil (LOVE them!).
Now you can use any veggies you want, but I had to “get rid of” a huge pile of tomatoes, so I sliced up some cherry tomatoes in half and diced some bigger tomatoes into bite-size chunks and tossed those skin-side-down into the dish. Top those with sliced olives – black and green- chopped garlic and red onion rings. I wanted to add some slices of zucchini, but my dish was too full already. I do think it would have been delicious though! After prepping the veggies, sprinkle a generous amount of Italian hers on there, some paprika powder, some garlic powder and a pinch of sea salt (again: add whatever you’d like!).
I whipped together 4 eggs with ¼ cup millet flakes and 2 tbsp milk (use whatever milk, cream or even water) and a splash of ume vinegar (you could use soy sauce) and a dash of black pepper. Whisk together for a minute or so, the millet will thicken a little and the eggs will get foamy. Pour on top of the veggies. You can top it all off with some slices of cheese; some sheep feta or sharp goat cheese would be good (I just didn’t care for it today).
I decided to bake it on 200 degrees Celsius (I don’t really think the temperature matters that much… it just has to get cooked ;-) but maybe this is just my simplistic mind telling me that is doesn’t matter when in fact it does). I put it in the oven for 25 minutes and when I checked to see if it was done, it was perfect!
I was just guesstimating everything and deciding things as I went along, so hey ~ hooray; success ;-)!
It smells wonderful when you take it out of your oven!
The best thing is; half of this quiche is one serving :D YUMMY! Serve with a green salad if you’d like, or some fresh salsa would be great too! Baked potatoes with some mayo… hmmm great option for a hardier dish (for friends that will otherwise miss the meat for example ;-)
Hope you’ll ENJOY!
