Light chicken quiche for picnic days

Although I live in the city of unpredictable weather, once in a blue moon we have picnic days. Those days as as rare as enjoyable and if you are so lucky to see them you will realized that even the hangover go out into the sun as soon as it shows up.

Those days trust me I am not gonna stick around the kitchen but for the minimal time required, but you gotta get feed and if you do it outside chances are that you are gonna get lots of temptations, so the best option bring your own food. I prepare this super simple quiche between coffee and shower and I promise you it is delicious warm or cold and it is easy to bring around in a container.


INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 cooked Chicken breast pieces ( I got mine form some grilled chicken I made, but you can buy cooked ones too)
  • 1 onion 
  • 3 eggs 
  • 6 tablespoons of fat free formage frais 
  • nutmeg, pepper and salt
  • reduce fat cooking spray ( this time it is not optional)
  • Add to your list in case you dont have baking paper and springform 

HOW TO 

Gather your ingredients and preheat the oven at 240C/ 475F 


Chop the cooked chicken breast and the onion in chunky pieces so they will show in the mix, I rather my ingredients to be abundant and visible but if you prefer less and less visible feel free the taste doesn't change that much.


In medium bol add the three eggs. I suggest to crack them in a small cup and then add it ti the bol just in case the eggs are no good. Them mix them with a whisker if you have or a fork if you don't. 


Then add the formage frais and and whisk again.


The mix will be complete when you add the nutmeg, which give it a really distint flavor, the salt and the pepper. I would use black pepper as it is my preference but any pepper would do.


Mix your eegs with the rest of the ingredients. It should look something like this.


Now get you baking paper and cut it to fit your mold. As I said before I recommend you use one of the springforms that you can remove the walls of the mold and keep the botton but if you dont have one as I didn't before you could use a silicon one and I works just fine.
Add the paper to the botton of your mold and spray it with the low fat cooking spray you don't need much.


Finally put the mix in the mold and put the mold on the oven, set your timer for 20 min, check at the end just to make sure it is as done as you like. Make sure that the sides are cooked that would be your indicator that the quiche is done.



And it is that simple, I hope you are having gorgeous weather and you can go out and enjoy a lovely summer, and till we see again,  
ENJOY :)
