Time 2h10m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1 3/4 cups cooked and cooled quinoa
1 large egg white, lightly whisked
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Pinch fine sea salt
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
2 cups roughly torn kale
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar (optional)

Steps:

For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate (not deep dish) with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together the quinoa, egg white, Parmesan and salt until well combined. Press the mixture into an even layer in the base and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
Bake the crust until toasty golden around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely.
For the filling: In another medium bowl, toss the scallions and kale to combine, then place in an even layer inside the prepared crust. Arrange the tomatoes evenly over the surface.
In the same bowl you tossed the scallions and kale in, whisk the eggs and milk to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the custard evenly over the veggies. If using, top with the Cheddar.
Bake until the crust is deeply golden and the egg custard is set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving or let cool completely and serve at room temperature.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, pre-bake the quiche crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
Don't overcook the quiche, or it will become dry and crumbly. A good rule of thumb is to cook it for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the quiche cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the quiche with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
