This particular recipe is my classic spinach, leek and bacon quiche filling, that I just changed the crust, instead of a traditional pie dough, I sliced with my mandolin very thin slices of potatoes and cover the baking dish with them, seasoned a little and then filled with my spinach mixture.

Pero las cosas están volviendo a la normalidad y me estoy preparando para celebrar el primer año de mi blog !!! No puedo creer lo rápido que ha pasado el tiempo,  se ha desvanecido en frente de mis ojos! increíble que ya haya pasado un año.

Tengo la intención de celebrar la mejor manera posible que hay, compartiendo con ustedes recetas familiares  que están cerca de mi corazón! Las recetas que cuando yo era una niña me hicieron amar la cocina y la comida, y que hasta hoy día sigue siendo mi pasión. Cocinar es una labor de amor !!

Esta receta en particular es mi relleno de espinacas, puerrón y tocineta que utilizo en mi quiche tradicional, lo único que he cambiado es la masa recipiente, en vez de ser una masa de tarta tradicional, corté con mi mandolina rebanadas muy finas de papas y cubrí el molde para hornear con ellas, sazoné un poco y luego se rellené con mi mezcla de espinacas.

 La cocina siempre puede cambiar y siempre está en evolución, aquí el ejemplo de usar este relleno clásico de quiche en una corteza de papas. Podría de hecho ser de nuestra preferencia quinoa, arroz, harina de batata, harina de yuca, puré de yuca. Tantas combinaciones que probar que el tiempo no es suficiente.

Sean felices horneando!

    • Hehehe, I can totally relate, but that didn’t happened this time. After placing the potatoes, I placed the spinach, leek and bacon mixture and distributed evenly on the baking dish then added the cream and egg mixture. I hope you try it cause it is really delicious! if you want to be completely sure of not having that mishap again, then you could bake the crust for ten minutes that way it will be set before adding the rest of the ingredients! Thanks for stopping by!

  • This is my favorite way to eat quiche- with a potato crust! Loving yours, G! The filling of spinach and bacon sounds wonderful! Hope you get back into the swing of things soon! And congrats on the almost one year mark!! Time does fly by! Hugs, girlfriend! Xo
