Quiche

Most of the quiche recipes contain lots of cheese and butter. I was eager to try one quiche but these guilt feeling ingredients refrained me from trying it. Then yesterday I tried this not much buttery and no cheese quiche which tasted nice. It is a healthy breakfast for your family. Here I've tried sausages as main ingredient. You can make it more healthy by choosing your favourite ingredient and loading with cheese if your kids like it.

Ingredients
For the base pastry

• Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
• Butter - 10 gms (frozen)
• Olive oil - 3 tsp (frozen)
• Ice cold water - as required
• Salt to taste

For filling

• Sausage - 2 
• Onion - 1 medium
• Egg - 1 
• Milk - 2 tsp
• Oregano - 1/2 tsp
• Any pizza cheese (as required) - I didn't use

Method
For the base pastry

• Rub frozen butter and frozen oil out into the wheat flour.
• Add salt to taste
• Add required amount of cold water to make a dough. Cover it with aluminium foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

For filling

• Mix together milk and egg. Add salt and pepper as required.
• Add grated cheese to egg-milk mix. Keep aside (If you're not using cheese, omit this step)
• In a hot pan add little oil and followed by chopped onion. Add salt to taste.
• Add chopped sausage pieces and stir fry. 
• Add oregano and pepper powder. Stir fry until done and keep aside

Finally

• Preheat oven at 180 degrees centigrade.
• Take the refrigerated dough and roll it into the size of your pie/tart dish.
• Butter the base of the tart dish
• Press the rolled out dough into the dish and cut off the extra at the rims. 
• Put the filling into it and pour the egg- milk-cheese mixture. 
• Bake in preheated oven at 180 degree centigrade for 25-30 minutes

Spicy Sausage Stir Fry

This is a slightly spicy sausage stir fry which is good for making chappathi rolls and sandwiches. There aren't much ingredients but the combination of onion, sausage and spring onions with spices gives it a very special taste. 

You need

• Sausage - 5 (chopped into tiny pieces)
• Onion - 4 small (sliced)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (chopped)
• Spring onion - 1/2 a bunch chopped
• Chilli powder - 2 tsp
• Pepper powder - 1 tsp
• Oil for sauteeing

Method

• Heat oil in a thick bottomed vessel
• Add chopped garlic. 
• Add sliced onion when garlic turns slightly brown.
• Add salt to taste (remember sausage contains salt. So add accordingly)
• Now add the chopped sausage, chilli powder and pepper powder.
• Saute well for 5-7 minutes
• Add chopped spring onions, saute for a minute
• Serve with chappathi or in sandwiches.
