A high protein savoury pie that you can serve hot or cold. A great dish for lunch or a light dinner served with a fresh salad alongside.
Ingredients
Serves 6-8
Spray oil
500g pumpkin, peeled and chopped into 2cm cubes
2 zucchinis, grated
1 onion, diced
1 bunch dill, chopped
8 eggs
250g instant basmati OR brown rice
250g feta cheese, crumbled
6 sheets of filo pastry
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC. Grease a medium sized tart or quiche tin with spray oil.
- Steam cubed pumpkin in in the microwave or boil until pieces are soft and tender.
- Squeeze excess moisture out of zucchini.
- Add pumpkin, zucchini, dill, onion and beaten eggs to a mixing bowl.
- Stir through instant rice and the feta cheese. Season with black pepper.
- Using about 6 sheets of filo pastry, line the quiche tin so that all sides are well covered. Spray with olive oil in between layers of pastry. Use a fork and pierce holes all over the base of the pastry. Any overhanging filo can be trimmed later.
- Pour egg mixture into the filo lined tin. Using wet fingers, fold in excess filo to resemble a crust.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the egg is set and pumpkin is tender.
