This Artichoke Quiche is a delightful option for a light dinner. Paired with a warm mug of soup and a crisp tossed salad, it creates a satisfying and balanced meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 can artichoke hearts
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 eggs
- 3-4 ounces pecorino romano cheese
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
-
Prepare Artichokes: Cut the artichoke hearts into quarters or large dice, setting them aside for later use.
-
Saute Garlic: In a frying pan over low heat, add olive oil. Saute whole garlic cloves for about a minute, ensuring they infuse the oil with their flavor.
-
Cook Artichokes: Add the prepared artichoke hearts to the pan and saute them until they start to brown, developing a rich flavor. Once cooked, remove the garlic cloves from the pan and allow the artichokes to cool.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add in the heavy cream, grated pecorino romano cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and ground black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, creating a creamy and flavorful base for the quiche.
-
Incorporate Artichokes: Once the artichokes have cooled, add them to the egg mixture along with any remaining oil from the pan. Mix everything together until the artichokes are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Assemble Quiche: Spoon the artichoke and egg mixture into a prepared pie crust, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled pie crust into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and just starts to brown on top.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. This Artichoke Quiche pairs wonderfully with a mug of soup and a small tossed salad, creating a delicious and satisfying meal.
Enjoy your homemade Artichoke Quiche, filled with savory flavors and creamy textures, perfect for any lunch or snack occasion!
