Quiche

I love eating quiche, mainly because of the crust. A yummy crust combined with an eggy, cheesy filling is just the kind of comfort food I enjoy.

I had a head of broccoli that I bought in my attempt to be 'healthy' and decided to make broccoli and cheese quiche to get rid of it. It turned out quite good:

I made the shortcrust pastry from scratch and the filling is basically cream, eggs, cheddar cheese and brocolli seasoned with pepper and salt mixed together and poured into the crust. I baked it for about half an hour and there was my lunch. One side of the quiche turned out darker than the other thanks to the uneven heat distribution in my ancient oven.

Next time I'm going to try to make a meatlover's quiche instead.
