Ratatouille Quiche

Cooking time: 60 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      The summer slipped by without making Ratatouille, so I came up with this tart instead.  I didn't have an aubergine (eggplant) to use.

Ratatouille Quiche

Total time: 60 minutes
    I use a brown rice crust: it's healthier and I don't make pie crust.  But you could certainly use a proper pastry or pie crust if you prefer.  Instead of Prosciutto you could substitute a bit of regular, baked ham or smoked turkey.  The vegetables are quickly cooked to reduce liquids and thicken.

Ratatouille Quiche Instructions:

Note:  When baking quiches or tarts, I put the dish on a sturdy baking tray, before pouring in the egg mixture, for easier handling.  The dish can get very full.
