Serves 8

Ingredients

Pastry

270g oats (approx. 2 ¾ cups)

½ tsp salt

¼ cup olive oil

½ cup water

Filling 

½ head broccoli, cut into large pieces

1 zucchini, cut into large pieces

6 green beans, halved

½ small red onion, cut into wedges

1/3 cup frozen peas, defrosted

Egg Mixture

4 eggs

150ml milk

150ml cream

Salt, pepper

1/3 cup crumbled feta

½ cup grated cheddar cheese

To serve

Handful dill, to serve

Method

For the pastry, place the oats and salt into the dry grains container and blend on speed 4, slowly increasing to speed 6 and continue blending, using the tamper if needed, to create a fine flour.

Place the oat flour into a bowl, adding the oil and water, then kneading to a soft dough. Use more water if needed. If the dough is too firm, it will crack.

Roll the dough between two pieces of baking paper into a 5mm thick circle. Remove the top piece of baking paper and invert the dough sheet into a 24cm fluted tart case. Pressing it gently into the case and trimming the top.

Let this rest in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up

Preheat the oven to 190C.

Drop chop the broccoli, zucchini, beans & onion by running the blender on speed 2 to chop them finely.

Spoon this into the pastry case and gently mix in the peas, feta and cheddar.

In the 600ml container cup, combine the cream, eggs, salt, pepper and blend on speed 2 to mix but not aerate.

Pour this into the tart evenly over the veggies and gently shake the tart to let the cream mix sink in evenly.

Bake for approx. 40 minutes, until the quiche is set then allow to sit for at least 10-15 minutes to rest before cutting. Serve scattered with dill and a good crack of black pepper.
