Ingredients
2
cups
kohlrabi,
1 medium kohlrabi, finely grated
1
teaspoon
sea salt,
2
cups
carrots
finely grated
9
eggs
½
cup
cooked, crumbled bacon or chorizo sausage *
or more
2
tablespoon
fresh rosemary leaves
(or 2 teaspoons dried, chopped)
¼
cup
green onions,
finely chopped
1
teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
oil for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F.
Cook the bacon or chorizo sausage. Cool slightly and crumble.
Peel the tough outer layer from the kohlrabi and grate it.
Transfer it to a medium bowl, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sea salt and let stand while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Grate the carrots.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined.
Add the grated carrots, bacon or sausage, rosemary, onions, and pepper.
Put the kohlrabi in a cheesecloth bag (or just use your hands) to squeeze out as much water as you can. This will help the quiche to set up nicely.
Add the drained kohlrabi to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and stir until well combined.
Oil a 9 or 10 inch quiche dish or pie pan. Pour the mixture into the dish and smooth with the back of a spoon.
Bake at 375°F. for 40 to 45 minutes until set in the middle, lightly browned and just beginning to brown on the edges.
Notes
* While there are two large chorizo sausages in the photo in this post, I didn't use both. One was enough.
