Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Broccoli Quiche with Carrot Crust.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C) to create the perfect environment for your quiche.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab your blender and toss in the shredded carrots, canola oil, diced onion, a sprinkle of salt substitute, and a dash of ground black pepper.
Step 3
Blend these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture that smells delightful.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together some cold water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Step 5
Once that’s done, add this mixture to your carrot blend and give it another whirl in the blender until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 6
Now, pour this vibrant carrot mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, pressing it down gently to form a lovely crust shape.
Step 7
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is dry and firm to the touch.
Step 8
While that’s baking, take a moment to whisk together the broccoli, eggs, pesto, and the remaining salt substitute in a bowl until it’s all smooth and well blended.
Step 9
Once your carrot crust is ready, pour this delicious broccoli mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.
Step 10
Return the quiche to the oven and let it bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the aroma fills your kitchen.
Step 11
After baking, allow the quiche to cool for about 25 minutes—this is the perfect time to set the table or prepare a fresh salad.
Step 12
Finally, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for that extra touch of flavor before serving.
Step 13
Enjoy your delightful creation, and savor every bite!.
