Have you ever had a dessert quiche? I hadn't until Talia invented one. We were talking about healthful options for her class project and she suggested this one - entirely her own invention. I was pretty impressed with the creativity, and entirely unsure how we would go about making such a thing, but serendipity showed up and voila:
It's a pretty basic little quiche, with strawberries as the filling. Just after she'd first suggested this combination, we were at the grocery store and saw a tart recipe with an orange custard filling. Borrowing from that idea, we added orange zest to the cream, heated it a bit and added it to the filling.
The recipe, as with most first tries, is not yet ready for prime-time, but there was quite a deal of pride in preparing this dessert for her grandparents. Confession? I was not really sure this would be good. But it was. We'll probably try it again soon, with a slightly sweeter crust and see what comes of it.
Here's to invention: the necessary ingredient.
It looks delicious. I wish I had a piece now.
