Potato Crusted Vegetarian Quiche Recipe With Zucchini Tomatoes Feta Recipe 415 Food

VEGETARIAN QUICHE WITH POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Press shredded potatoes into a lightly oiled large deep dish pie pan (I use a second glass pie plate to smash them into shape).
• Place pie plate in oven for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are just beginning to brown.
• While potato-crust is cooking, work on the veggies.
• Brush fry pan with olive oil and saute the onions and peppers until onions are transparent, remove from heat.
• Cook the broccoli (and optional carrots) until slightly tender -- either by steaming for about 5 minutes or zapping in a covered microwavable dish with a splash of water for about 2 minutes.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl with the evaporated milk.
• After removing the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle about 2/3 cup of the cheese over the potato crust.
• Spread the cooked onions and peppers evenly in the pie pan.
• Spread the broccoli (and carrots) evenly over the onions and peppers.
• Sprinkle the crumbled veggie bacon over the veggies. This should basically fill the deep dish pie pan completely.
• Sprinkle the rest of cheese over the veggies.
• Carefully pour the milk and egg mixture into the deep dish pie pan.
• Place in the oven (I usually have a cookie sheet underneath to catch any spills) for 45 minutes or until egg is cooked and firm.
• Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

POTATO-CRUSTED VEGETARIAN QUICHE RECIPE WITH ZUCCHINI, TOMATOES & FETA RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray. With a paper towel or kitchen towel, squeeze the excess moisture out of the shredded potato. In a medium-sized bowl, toss the shredded potatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared pie dish, and press the potato evenly on the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown on the edges, 17 to 20 minutes. Quiche: Lower the oven heat to 375°F. While the crust is baking, whisk the eggs, egg white and milk together in a large bowl. Whisk in the smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Stir the grated zucchini into the egg mixture, and pour the entire mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the tomatoes, feta cheese and green onion evenly over the egg mixture. Bake at 375°F until the egg is set in the center and starting to brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes. Cut and serve.
