Jamie Oliver's Speedy Quiche

Talk about a quick and easy weeknight vegetarian dish! Don't let the "quiche" in the title lead you to believe this is a traditional quiche. It's not.

Jamie makes the preparation simple with a good hack on spritzing the filo with oil instead of painstakingly brushing it with melted butter (like I usually do). I used a springform pan and a fraction of the filo. I used just enough to cover the bottom and the sides of the pan a coupe of times, about 8 sheets.

After the pastry was golden and the internal temperature of the quiche was about 160°F, I took it out of the oven and released the outer ring. I thought I'd pop it back in the oven (now turned off) to get the sides a little more golden. I used the wooden cutting board as a "peel" to carefully slide the quiche onto a pizza stone in the oven. Gotta watch out for the pesky slippery bottom of a springform pan as it jumped off the board and onto the open oven door before I could gently slide it onto the stone.

We managed to salvage most of it but it wasn't too pretty. I cropped the photo so as not to show the destroyed side of the pie 😂. It was all still perfectly edible and we ate the whole thing in one sitting!
