My very first try at making a quiche!
I wanted to eat sweet potato. We hadn't had it in a while, so I figured I should buy it and cook with it. I also wanted pinach for basically the same reason. What a coincidence that I found this recipe, shared by a Dutch food blogger, when I searched for sweet potato recipes!
So, I decided to try and make this lovely looking quiche. I had never made quiche before. It always seemed like such a hassle with dough and eggs, which I don't always have lying around. Well, gotta try one day, right? So I ordered most of the ingredients and set to work.
I gotta tell you, putting the puff pastry into a spring form is quite annoying when you have long nails, but other than that, this really didn't take too much effort. Lessons learned huh!
Here's the recipe, translated from this Dutch recipe and slightly adjusted to fit a round spring form and my preferences:
Ingredients
- 5 Sheets of puff pastry
- 2 Sweet potatoes
- 300g Spinach
- 1 Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 3 Eggs
- 150ml Coconut milk
- 1 Tsp cumin
- 1 Tsp chilli powder
- A little cheese to sprinkle on top
Directions
- Take your puff pastry out of the freezer to thaw. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in small blocks. Cut the onion into small pieces aswell.
- Heat up some oil in a pan and heat up the onions for a little while. Add the garlic through a press, or cut it into small pieces in advance.
- Add the sweet potato and the herbs. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the spinach and stir occassionally while it shrinks.
- Butter or oil up your spring pan and press the puff pastry into it so the entire surface is covered.
- Mix the eggs and coconut milk in a seperate bowl.
- Add your potato mix to your spring pan and cover it with the egg mix.
- Top your quiche with some grated cheese and put it in the preheated oven for 30-ish minutes.
Enjoy!

I will try this out, I haven't cooked anything like it, but it's sounding simple enough, should take half an hour to prepare and then that much again to cook aaand some time to let it steam off :D
On another note I've been battling you in the SteemPunk arena :) so if you have interest to play that while you blog and curate on steemit I would love to have more active combatants :D Personally I just leave the steemit window open just for that since I prefer busy over it.
Also I'd like to resume my cooking since that did me huge favors in the past and saved me lots of money as well as provided numerous benefits, so please help me build the habit back up :D mention it once in a while, I've almost dropped all of my activity on steem because people here are all focused on their blogs and rarely go out of their way, maybe that's how it's been for me, don't know.
Anyways thanks for the idea and good luck to you, I'm glad to have people that I've shared the steem experience stay and continue sharing their interests.

SteemPunk! To be honest, I checked it out, didn't understand what the heck was going on, and then never checked the plugin again... I really liked the idea though, so maybe I should try checking it out again... after my weekend trip.
Ooh picking cooking back up sounds like a great idea! I'll try to remind you once in a while :D
You're right, plenty of people don't do much else besides focus on their blogs. I gotta say, I have those periods aswell, though I'm lucky to have some engaging readers so I don't have to go far for some nice interactions with friends here.
Anyway, hope to talk to you again soon. Off for my trip first though :D

Best of luck and safe travels :D I'm wishing to go trip as well, but if it happens it's gonna be a short one, ride the bus around town :D Anyways Have a great time and we can always talk hahah :) If I get more active I probably would drop by more often, if I get cooking I might be stealing recipes :P

Thanks @j3dy! We had a great time this weekend. Even though it was a short trip, my boyfriend told me "It feels like we've been away for an entire week!", so hey, short trips are good too :D

anything exciting is good, dopamine rushes are amazing :D
I've been playing steem games here reminding myself of the old school text based web games :D I suppose I better write some posts rather than streaming for the silence :D I do wish somebody would watch me but I suppose I've given up on being a host :D that or nobody's watching and I have no schedule :D

Well, I know there are plenty of people who enjoy watching videos, so maybe you should just try to keep at it, or chat more with the gaming community to see if you can lure them over to your page :D
Myself, I hardly ever watch videos. I just don't enjoy it, so I basically skip on all of the video posts on Steemit.

Aw man, I have to give it another try! Thing is, I'm not even sure how to open the extension now... It doesn't do anything when I left-click it and when I right-click it, there is no useful menu option that actually loads anything except for the extension info on another tab. I just never learned how to even get started in the game!

SteemPunksNet how to get started, maybe without the how :D
I just gotta find myself a place to try setting it up ... I'm already mid way through the game, well 1/3 probably

My grandma has a similar recipe but she uses potatoes and not the sweet variety. I think I'm going to ask her to make it next dinner. ^.^

I love both spinach and potatoes so i must try this quiche, once i did one with potatoes and bacon it was tasty too, but i think i can add spinachs so i eat more vegetables in a tasty way no?

Hmm I would love to make a quiche with bacon one day! I'm sure my boyfriend would be more enthousiastic about that one ;-)
You can definitely add spinach either way, though I might suggest peas there!

Looks super healthy and delicious @playfulfoodie.
Wasn't sure if I fell into this category:
But if I do it's not the worst thing that has ever happened to me. Actually a friend from New Zealand mentioned you so that's why I stopped by.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by @mineopoly!
Oh don't worry, you're not even close to fitting into that category. I was just tired of having to be 'decent' and explain my flags on comments like 'Good post, upvote me plz', 'I followed you, you follow me' and crap like that, so I figured I'll just add the warning and be done with it :-)
