Quiche with Milk, Spelt, and Thyme

I will be happy to help you with the recipe for the milk, spelt, and thyme quiche. Here are the ingredients you will need and the procedure to follow:

Ingredients

• 200 g of spelt
• 500 ml of milk
• 1 sprig of fresh thyme (or a teaspoon of dried thyme)
• 3 eggs
• 1 roll of brisée pastry (or puff pastry if you prefer)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Nutmeg to taste
• Butter for greasing the pan
• 100 g of grated cheese (optional, but can be a tasty addition)

Preparation

1. Cook the spelt in plenty of salted water following the instructions on the package until it is tender, then drain it and let it cool down.
2. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and grated nutmeg to taste.
3. Rub the thyme between your hands to release its aroma and add it to the egg and milk mixture.
4. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
5. Roll out the brisée pastry in a previously buttered pan, pricking it with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
6. Spread the spelt over the quiche base, then pour the milk and egg mixture on top.
7. (Optional) If you wish, you can add grated cheese on top for an extra flavor.
8. Bake the quiche for about 40 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and the mixture has set well.
9. Let the quiche cool down a little before cutting and serving it.

The milk, spelt, and thyme quiche is an original dish that combines the rustic flavors of the cereal with the aromatic freshness of thyme, creating a perfect match for a light dinner or a sophisticated brunch.

Curiosity

Spelt is an ancient grain much appreciated in Mediterranean cuisine for its nutty flavor and satisfying texture. It is also known for its nutritional properties, being rich in fiber and proteins. Thyme, with its distinctive aroma, is often used in the cuisines of the Mediterranean basin, not just for savory dishes but also in some sweet preparations.
