This quiche is simple to make, very tasty, and a Nachbaur family favourite
Submitted by Violinist and Fiddleheads' Owner Rhiannon Nachbaur, Kamloops BC
Ingredients
1 frozen (or homemade) piecrust
Optional: Use mini pie shells and a single fiddlehead in each for h'ordeuvres
2 cups chopped or whole prepared fiddleheads (cut off the ends and remove any dry fronds)
1 small onion
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 eggs
1 cup cream (or half & half)
1 Tbsp. coarse mustard
2 Tbsp. flour
Cooking Instructions
Precook piecrust in a 350° oven. While the piecrust pre-bakes, sauté the onions and fiddleheads in olive oil for 6-8 minutes or more. [IMPORTANT: do not undercook!]
Place the cooked fiddleheads and onions in the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Blend eggs, mustard, flour, cream, and pour over other ingredients.
Bake at 350° for about 50 minutes (full cooked fiddleheads). Pie is cooked when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. This dish may be served cold, warm, or hot and goes nicely with wild rice.
Serves 3-5
Be sure to practice your violin after you finish eating.
