recipes: Courgette Quiche

Ingredients: 1 courgette, grated cheddar 100gr, Parmesan 100gr, 2 eggs, 1 small onion, 1 chili pepper, soy cream 10cl, pepper, salt, paprika powder, cooked ham 2 slices, butter, pastry (puff pastry or shortcrust)
Vegetarians: loose the ham use soy meat instead, you need some vegetable stock aswell.
Grate the courgette, cut the onion and the chili pepper into very small bits. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and chili, fry for a minute and add the grated courgette. Fry until soft and let it cool down.

I use ready made pastry, but you can make your own. Take a baking tray and place the rolled out pastry in the tray. Put the ham slice in and cover with some grated cheddar. Add the cooled down courgette.
Mix soy cream, eggs, paprika powder, pepper and salt. Mix well, then poor over the courgette.
Cover it with pastry. Make some holes in the top so the steam can get out.
Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 220°c. Get it out and cover with very thin slices of Parmesan cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes. Serve hot!

For a vegetarian version you don't use the Ham, or replace it with soy meat. Cook 75 gr of soy meat in some vegetable stock. Melt some butter in a non stick frying pan and fry until golden brown add spices (Pepper, paprika powder). Let it cool down before putting it on the bottom of the pastry.
Go about it ass above cover with grated cheddar....
