Celery Cauliflower Quiche

Celery Cauliflower Quiche
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup chopped cauliflower florets
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 large eggs
1 cup 2% milk
2 Tablespoons tahini
2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 Teaspoons wheat germ
salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
Preheat oven to 375F. Place the vegetables in the bottom of a 7 or 8 inch round glass ovenproof bowl. In a medium bowl, beat together remaining ingredients. Pour over vegetables. bake for about 45 minutes until just set - quiche should not be jiggly but still moist. 

You couldn't really find a quicker and easier quiche recipe than this. The celery and cauliflower make a different but yummy flavor combination. If you prefer softer vegetables in your quiche, pre-steam the vegetables. This is a crustless quiche, but the small amount of flour and wheat germ help thicken the custard and form a thin layer on the bottom. This made two servings for me, though they were hearty main course servings. As a side dish, it could easily serve four.
