This is one of those recipes that I whipped up on one of my lazy cooking days. I was late getting dinner ready and needed to make something with minimal effort, and this kale and shallot quiche was the delicious result. An easy and lazy recipe because I was so lazy that I didn’t even bother to use my hand blender to whip the eggs and cream together. I just cooked the kale with shallots and garlic and then let it to cool for a few minutes. Added in eggs, a splash of cream and shredded cheese. Then I mixed everything together with a fork and poured it into a readymade tart shell and baked. Honestly, this is the easiest and laziest quiche I have ever made and surprisingly given my lack of usual fanfare it turned out delicious! Continue reading Kale and Shallot Quiche
