How To Make Low-Protein Spinach and Beetroot Quiche
- Place 250g low protein flour into a mixing bowl and rub in 125g of butter to form a crumble.
- Stir in 60 mL of water until a clear pastry is obtained. Allow the pastry to rest for a few minutes before use.
- Lightly grease, flan case, and mould the pastry to shape, ensuring all sides are covered. Make small air pockets in the pastry using a fork to allow even cooking. Use baking beans to blind bake the pastry for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
- Fry the white onion and garlic until soft, and stir in the spinach and pre-cooked beetroot. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add 20g egg replacer to 200 mL of water and whisk together. Add 70 g of mascarpone and 80 g Violife sour cream and continue to whisk. Add 60 g Violife Mozarella. Mix with the contents of the pan.
- Remove the pastry case from the oven and add the contents of the pan. Pour the mixture into the flan case and allow to bake for 30-35 minutes at 180 degrees.
