Quinoa Crust Quiche

I began cooking with quinoa recently for a friend who was gluten-intolerant and have made quiches by my own recipes and experiments. I’ve made quiche and dumplings so far, and am looking to see what more it can do!

The quinoa crust is surprisingly dense, so a thinner crust does not mean a weak quiche! I prefer to use quinoa flour to quinoa flakes for this crust for consistency of crust depth and increased flakiness.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.

Step: 2

Cook and stir mushrooms in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and mushrooms have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk eggs and half-and-half together in a bowl and stir in broccoli, Cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic salt, and cooked mushrooms. Refrigerate filling.

Step: 3

Mix quinoa flour and butter in a bowl until mixture forms small clumps; stir water into quinoa mixture until dough comes together. If dough is too dry, add more water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until dough holds together. Press dough into prepared pie dish to form a crust; pour filling into crust.

Step: 4

Bake quiche in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

Eat best breakfast to start the day had become a good habit. It’s a best way to start my day off healthfully. The sweet hit from the pickle tree wakes me up and gives me energy to take on the morning. The sweetness is often vilified as the evil of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is great for your digestive system and helps keep you feeling full all day , and less likely grab a side food out of the vending machine before lunchtime.

Make fruit a at 7.00 clock habit is simple . Easy as put the fruit in your fridge next to the sweet drink or on the table next to your grain bowl , or move your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll see it. Before you eat the rest of your breakfast , eat your fruit. If you’re not usually a breakfast person.

Giving your body a bit of sweetness in the morning is good to kick-start your healthy body for the day and fuel to your brain, which, incidentally, requires a continue supply of sugar in the way of process glucose, amounting to around 120g daily. There is also essential evidence to backup the idea that a diet high in fiber can lowering your risk of a count of of cancers. And of course, you benefit from all the other vitamins and antioxidants in fruit, which keep you strong and healthy.
