Potato Onion Quiche


Potato Onion Quiche
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen here

Savory Tart Shell
6-8 baby potatoes
4 baby onions (or one large onion)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
about 1/3 cup Mozzarella cheese, grated
3 eggs
1/4 cup skim milk
Assorted spices (I used oregano, thyme, and basil)

Preheat oven to 350. Scrub and slice the potatoes into about 1/4-inch thick discs. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water to two inches over the taters, and boil until they're tender, about 15-20 minutes for me.

Slice the onions, and saute with a little olive oil. After they've started to brown, add the vinegar, and let them cook until carmelized. This will take forever.

Whisk together the eggs and milk.

Lay potatoes in tart shell, place onions on top, gently pour milk and egg mixture over the top, sprinkle the cheese over the top, and finally add the spices. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until egg mixture is set, cheese is melted, and your apartment smells amazing.

Let it cool, eat a spinach salad, then cut, serve, salt, and eat!!!!!

Savory Tart Shell 
Slightly adapted from Smitten Kitchen here.

1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1 Tbs plus 2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbs unsalted butter, cubed
1 large egg

Mix dry ingredients. Add the cubed butter, and use hands to turn it into something that resembles granola, leaving some lumps. Finally add the egg, and mix more with hands until it turns into a very tough dough sort of thing that (for me!) won't stick together. Sprinkle this mixture over a lightly greased quiche pan and press and press (and press and press.....) until it all sticks together and resembles a pie crust! This will take forever. You may need to sprinkle in the tiniest amounts of water.
