Ingredients

  • 1 red onion
  • 1 medium zucchini (courgette)
  • 2 bell peppers (I used red and orange)
  • ~ 6 medium mushrooms
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 6 eggs
  • 200 ml (~ 3/4 cup) single cream (see notes)
  • 1 Tablespoon basil pesto
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 70 g (~ 1/2 cup) self-raising flour
  • 200 g (~ 7 oz) feta cheese, roughly crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon butter or oil

Instructions

  • Cut the vegetables (red onion through mushrooms) into bitesized pieces (~ 2cm dice), and spread them on a baking tray.
    A tray full of colourful chopped vegetables.
  • Toss with a little oil, and roast at 180°C (Gas Mark 4 / 350°F) for around 45 minutes, stirring once or twice as they cook. They should end up quite well roasted, so there’s not too much excess moisture going into the quiche.

  • While the vegetables are roasting, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, and beat them with a fork or whisk. Add the cream and pesto, and mix again. I also added plenty of black pepper.

  • Next, add the flour, and beat thoroughly until the mixture is fairly smooth. You can sift the flour through a fine sieve first if you have one - otherwise, just make sure you press any lumps of flour with the back of the fork to mix them in thoroughly.

  • When the vegetables are well roasted, add them to the egg mixture, along with the roughly crumbled feta cheese (keep the chunks fairly big). Mix to combine - quite gently so you don't break up the cheese.

  • Thoroughly grease an 8-inch springform cake tin - I find it easiest to use a pinch of butter and my fingertips. Spray oil also works well. Pour the egg mixture into the tin, and make sure the vegetables are spread evenly around the tin.

  • Bake for around 45 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown on top, and no longer jiggly in the middle. If the eggs are browning before they're fully set, cover the tin with foil and return to the oven (I didn't need to do this, but it depends on how intense your oven is).

Notes

Different countries seem to offer different kinds of milk and cream, with different names. The cream I used, single cream, is 19% fat, so try to find an option that has a similar amount of fat, or a little less.
