Receta Kohlrabi Green Quiche
I recently received Kohlabri in one of my Field Good's deliveries. Sure I thought, that is a pretty cool looking vegetable, but what on earth was I going to do with Kohlabri?! I did some searching and found a few recipes, but none that appealed to me at that very moment. Then I read that Kohlabri was similar to broccoli. That is when this quiche was born.
I'm not normally a huge fan of quiche. Mainly because eggs and I don't always have a great relationship if something is too eggy. Hence my dislike for custard or creme brulee (please cover your eyes Justin, or just know that if I ever make creme brulee it is just because I love you so much).
Tips: You can swap your veggies around - use your favorite veggie, cooked and chopped. Mix up the flavor of your cheese also if you wish and substitute onion or green onion for the shallot! Play with it and you may come up with an amazing flavor yourself!
