Broccoli - mushroom quiche

A nice vegetarian quiche for my mums' birthday dinner.

Crust:
160g plain flour
50g rye flour
50g butter, softened
35ml oil
1 egg
2 tsp sugar
0.3 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
20ml milk or water

Mix the dry ingredients and whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and mix well (use your hands!). Line an oven-proof glass dish with the pastry and set aside.

Filling:
250g broccoli, cut into medium-size florets
200g mushrooms, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
salt, pepper
350g cottage cheese
3 eggs
100g cheese, grated
2 tbsp oil

Fry the vegetables over low heat until the broccoli is soft, season with salt and pepper, set aside.
Meanwhile, thinly cover the bottom of the unbaked pastry case with some of the grated cheese. In a bowl, mix together the eggs, cottage cheese and the remaining grated cheese, season with salt and pepper.

Evenly distribute the fried vegetables over the dough, pour over with the cottage cheese-egg mix, making sure it's more or less even aswell. Bake at 170C for about an hour or until it looks done.
Makes 10-12 servings.
