Cheese off - asparagus & cheddar quiche; kale, plum & mozzarella salad

[monday1957]

Hi everyone and here’s my contribution the the Cheese Off: as ever, vegetarian and (fairly!) lchf.

The quiche has an almond flour base ( mix 2 cups of ground almonds/almond flour with one egg; bake blind in a buttered dish for 15 mins) and the veg I used today was leeks, asparagus (lightly fried with the pan lid on) and cherry tomatoes. The cheese mixture was 3 whisked eggs and a handful of grated cheddar. Bake for half an hour on medium heat.

For the salad, slice 2 plums in half and remove stone. In the dimples, pour drop of olive oil, pinch brown sugar and drop of tamari sauce. Roast on low heat for 25 mins, allow to cool. Shred kale (cavolo Nero) into a bowl and massage a tbsp olive oil into leaves to soften them up. Add the cooled plums, half a shredded ball of mozzarella and sprinkle with toasted nuts and seeds.
