1.25 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. plus 1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 cup plus 1 TBSP olive oil
1/4 cup plus 1 TBSP ice water
Sift four and salt together. whisk water and oil together, mix wet and dry ingredients together well, press into 10" pie dish. Do not pre bake.
The filling:
2 cups broccoli, cut up small
1 small onion, chopped fine
some garlic, minced
1 lb. reduced fat cheddar cheese, grated
1 roma tomato, sliced into thin coins
saute broccoli, onion, and garlic in a pan with a little olive oil until onions are translucent
The custard:
4 eggs
1.5 cups 1% milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch of cayenne
pinch of nutmeg
Whisk together well.
The assembly:
Layer half the cheese into the bottom of the uncooked crust. Add sauteed vegetables. Add remaining cheese on top. Pour in custard. Arrange tomato slices on top. Bake at 400 degrees half hour or more, until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. (400 temp is critical, or the crust may come out gooey). Cool and eat.
You can pretty much use anything for a filling, as long as it includes the cheese. Other popular variations: spinach, feta cheese, swiss cheese, mushrooms, ham...
