What does quiche mean in Italian? In cooking, the quiche / kiʃ /, equivalent of the Italian flan, is a type of quiche of French cuisine. What does quiche mean? The quiche is nothing more than a savory pie whose typical filling is a mixture of cream and eggs that binds the ingredients (called appearil ). Given the liquid consistency of the filling, it is often associated with a base with greater elasticity and impermeability, such as Italian shortcrust pastry. Carrot and beetroot quiche with pesto ricotta and phyllo dough Our version of the quiche is very fast, much lighter than the version with cream and much more crunchy thanks to the use of phyllo dough. In this savory pie there are sweet-tasting vegetables, Balance the savory taste well with the spices! If you stir-fry the beetroot you ensure a more intense flavor but you have to peel it raw, which can leave your hands red; consider wearing gloves. Even if our quiche recipe is not the original one having the lightest filling, you have the opportunity to enjoy a dish that winks at the greedy ones of the tradition even if you are following your Nutri® program for weight loss or for your sport or your pathologies!

Forget the long and complicated procedures .. Follow these simple steps and you will get a spectacular result that will surprise your family or your guests.

You can bring this DNC®plate recipe from the Program Nutri® for your family to the table, it will give you an explosion of flavors you will never forget!

The secret to a good dish is to mix the flavors. Follow the steps and you will surely introduce this recipe among the most popular of your family!

DO THIS Preheat the oven to 160-180 degrees. Brown the vegetables in a non-stick pan with a drizzle of oil and the spices. When they are golden brown and a nice color, place them on a plate and let them cool. Meanwhile, prepare the mixture for the base. In a bowl, pour the ricotta, pesto, eggs and mix with a whisk or fork. Season with salt, add the spice mix. Now the phyllo dough. Take it out of the fridge at the last moment. You need a clean cloth spread out on the work surface and your pan where you have decided to cook the quiche already lined with parchment paper soaked under water and squeezed well (to prevent it from burning during cooking and to make it adhere well to your pan ). Take a cup and mix 1/2 water and 1/2 oil. With a kitchen brush, brush each sheet of phyllo dough with this mixture before placing another sheet on top. Basically you have to create layers that will cook in the oven and give you the feeling of crunchiness. You CANNOT skip this step, the phyllo dough in cooking tends to dry out, if not previously wet it will crack ... Once you have at least 4 layers stacked (but you can go up to 8) pour the liquid mixture you kept aside and arrange the vegetables in an orderly manner. It must also be beautiful to look at! Bake in the oven for at least 20-30 minutes in a low static oven 160-180 ° and then 5-10 minutes in a convection oven 180-200 °. Cooking depends on the size of your quiche and the power of your oven. You can also put one sheet of phyllo dough on top of the other one offset to have an even more crunchy effect! You can serve it lukewarm or enjoy it cold also the day after. It is very good!

The Nutritionist recommends :

Check carefully the quantities per portion you have in your Program Nutri® that you are following according to your needs and adapt them to those of the recipe!

NO TIME???

Always try to spend the shopping according to the menu of your Program Nutri® you will have the ingredients available and you will not have energy drops during your working day, study or sport!

To know! Savory pies (all of them !!!) are usually a hellish trap for diets ... Because they contain high-calorie foods and in any case eating a portion is difficult to satiate! The trick is to reduce the amount of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry you use and in this case the phyllo dough is very convenient, and give an eye per serving to the base. Using ricotta instead of cream is a good way to reduce fat in this recipe, and using vegetables will ensure you get a richer portion and more satiety. Do you always make the same quiches? You can always try the egg and ricotta base and combine smoked salmon and green beans, or frayed chicken already cooked with broccoli and cherry tomatoes. Do you know that they are also excellent completely vegetarian? You can try chickpea cream, thin potatoes and zucchini. It is very good! I often prepare it when I have to bring legumes to the table but my children don't like them very much alone on the plate ... Test your combination and check the quantities in the menu of your Program.Nutri®
