Hello.
Quiche is not a typical Portuguese recipe but I like it so much that I decided to share my recipe with Portuguese Menu readers:


Ingredients


For the dough:

Other ingredients:

~ 1/2 onion
~ 2 tablespoons olive oil
~ Mixture of vegetables
~ Cheese and ham in small cubes
~ 2 packets of milk cream (400 ml)
~ 6 whole eggs
~ 1/2 cup of milk
~ salt, black pepper & nutmeg

Directions:


For the dough: Mix flour, margarine, 1 egg yolk and salt at taste. Add water until you get a consistent dough. Let it rest while you prepare the vegetables.

Chop all vegetables, cheese and ham (or backon) in small pieces.
Fry the onion in olive oil until golden and add the vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes in low temperature. When it´s cold add ham and cheese cubes.
