Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Made this for a ladies luncheon. Had a power outage 10 minutes into bake time and had to finish cooking it at my friends. Still turned out tasty. Should mention it was hard to get all the spinach to fit in the in the simmering basket. Also used tasty cheese instead of chedder and the cheese turned almost into butter, so re cut some cheese and put it on speed 10 for 2 seconds and it came out perfect. Really like the Quinoa in the recipe.

    Served this hot when I made it for a luncheon yesterday and then had it cold for dinner that night.  I preferred it cold, my husband preferred it hot.  He really enjoyed it.  Quite easy to make and we could prepare it earlier and put it in the fridge before baking it later.  We liked the idea that it was based on quinoa and was more like an impossible pie than a pastry based quiche.  Thank you for the recipe.
