Safari Spoonful: Serengeti Quiche

Think you will be skimping a bit in the culinary department while on safari? Think again.

African safari camps have professionally trained chefs that produce some of the most amazing meals. The chefs must cater and appeal to international travelers, all the while being prepared in some the most remote locations imaginable. 

Here’s an easy-to-make quiche we wanted to share with you: after a morning game drive at Lamai Serengeti Camp we were treated to this dish. Imagine being on safari enjoying the panoramic views of the Serengeti while feasting on this delicious dish!

The Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35-45 minutes
Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

Crust

Your favorite pastry or sweet tart crust, homemade or store-bought.

Vegetables

• 1 red pepper

• 1 yellow pepper

• 1 aubergine or eggplant (I like to substitute portobello mushrooms)

• 1 courgette or zucchini

• 1 onion

• 2 bay leaves

• 8 thyme sprigs (or dill)

• 4 oz feta cheese

• 7 cherry tomatoes

Filling

• 1 cup milk

• 1 cup cheddar cheese (or cream)

• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp dry mustard

• 1 tsp dry parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

1. Line a springform pan with parchment paper. Place the crust inside and bake.

2. Dice the vegetables into one-inch cubes.

3. Roast in a pan with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. While the vegetables are roasting, mix together the filling ingredients.

4. Once the vegetables are done fill the crust with both mixtures. Top with feta cheese and cherry tomatoes.

5. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
