Last night we whipped up another quick quiche for dinner. This time, with grilled melanzana (eggplant). I remember as a kid having quiche only at my grandma's house. Since she was French/Italian, I knew it was something that she was proud to make in addition to her creampuffs and the occasional rabbit. Only now, do I realize how common it is to eat here in Europe. We have it at least once a week for lunch or dinner and it's different every time. Below are a few combinations we've made...
(All include a sprinkle of French herbs & nutmeg)
zucchini & scamorza affumicata*
speck* & onion
brie & prosciutto
wuerstel & onion
potato & carrot
eggplant & onion
scamorza & sausage
*scamorza affumicata: a smoked cheese similar to mozzarella
*speck: a cured meat similar to bacon
