Recipe's preparation

Preheat the oven to 200C. Grease a flat tray and scatter diced sweet potato. Bake for 20 mins. Remove and turn the oven down to 180C ready for the quiche to go in.

Grate the cheese in the TM Bowl - 5 secs, speed 9. Set aside.

Chop the onions and garlic 3- 5 secs/speed 5.

Add sliced capsicum (and any other vegies you wish to cook) and oil and saute 10 mins/VAROMA/Speed 2/Rev

Then add thyme, vinegar and salt and saute 5 mins/VAROMA/Speed 2/Rev.

Set aside

Insert the whisk.

Whisk eggs, cream, lemon zest, pepper,

salt and grated cheese 30s/speed 3

Grease the bottom of a deep baking tray (or quiche dish) and line with baking paper, bringing paper up over the sides. Assemble the sweet potato over the base, then spread the vegetable mix and top with the whisked egg. Bake for 10 mins 180C

Remove from oven and sprinkle a handful of pine nuts and extra thyme on top and return to oven for a further 15 mins.

Stand aside to cool and settle for 5 mins before serving. Lift the sides of the baking paper to remove the quiche to a cutting board before slicing and serving.

Tip

If avoiding dairy - omit the cream and cheese and replace with an extra egg or two.

I added proscuito, spinach and pre-cooked pumpkin to the vegetable mix - it was delicious - will definitely be a favourite recipe.

Thermomix Model

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!
