Instructions
Place the vegetables on a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Roast at 220℃ for 40 minutes.
Blitz the oats in a food processor until flour-like.
Add the yoghurt, egg, salt and pepper and blitz until dough like. Scrape the contents into a large mixing bowl.
Add some flour to the bowl and use your hands to bring the dough together.
Oil the quiche dish with olive oil.
Place the dough in the quiche dish and spread the dough out evenly across the dish, using flour to help spread it. (This will take a few minutes depending on how sticky the dough is, that is ok).
Blind bake 20 minutes.
Add the chorizo to a large non-stick pan with the chopped chicken and cook on a medium heat for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink. Set the meat aside.
Beat 6 eggs in a large bowl, add in the herbs, spices, salt, pepper, and most of the cheese (saving some for the top of the quiche).
Remove the vegetables and quiche base from the oven.
Spread the vegetables, chorizo and chicken out over the base of the quiche and then pour over the egg mixture.
Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and place back in the oven for 15 minutes at 180℃.
Remove from the oven and serve.
This quiche can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.
