Today I am sharing this light and super tasty quiche with a golden twist! The courgettes blend in perfectly in the creamy heart of the quiche made with ricotta, eggs and cheese. Then a dust of saffron as final touch for a nice flavorful change!

This recipe is quite versatile: not a fan of courgettes? Just swap them with something else like broccoli, aubergines or brussel sprouts!

A note about saffron: it’s best to use the powdered one because it’s so much more flavorful! Try to get your hands on it – you should find it in most well-stocked italian stores. Enjoy!

1 bag saffron (5g)
2 eggs
20g grated cheese
salt and pepper a generous pinch

Instructions

First, wash and chop finely the courgettes.

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta with the eggs, saffron, salt and pepper, and cheese.
Mix well, then add the cooked courgettes.
On a baking tray (mine is 20x20 and the quiche was pretty tall) place the pastry sheet.
Add the filling in and close the sides.
Bake in the oven for 45 min or until the crust is nice and golden. Enjoy!
