Yesterday I came across the foodblogevent Grow Your Own [1] on Andrea’s Recipes [2]. Grow Your Own is about creating dishes out of homegrown products. I created a endive & chicken quiche and I also added some homegrown chives to it. Inspired by a recipe from C1000 [3].
I was already planning on making something with curly endives, when I came across a endive quiche recipe from C1000. I decided to make a quiche [4] with my own kind of filling. This included endive, chicken, gouda cheese & homegrown chives.
Ingredients (serves 4)
6 sheets of puff pastry
3 eggs
150 ml whipping cream
150 grams old gouda cheese
200 grams curly endive
150 grams chickenfilet
50 grams homegrown chives
Preparation
Grease a ovenproof dish with some butter. Cover the dish with the sheets of puff pastry. Chop up the endive, chickenfilet and chives. Fry the chickenfilet in a pan with some olive oil until the pieces are slightly brown. Also fry the endive until it’s a bit reduced in size.
Create a mixture of the eggs, grated cheese, chives and cream. Spread the chicken and endive around the pastry shell. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the pastry shell. Bake the quiche for about 30 minutes in a oven of 200 degrees or until golden brown.
