Chicken and rainbow pepper quiche

Serves: 6 - 8

Cooking Time: 1 hr 15 mins

Ingredients

FILLING
3 medium bell peppers (1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow)
1 medium red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
avocado oil, to drizzle
200g rotisserie roasted chicken, shredded
handful fresh parsley, chopped + extra, to garnish
10ml (2 tsp) jalapeño chillies, chopped
130g feta, crumbled
100g mature Cheddar, grated
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 eggs
250ml (1 cup) fresh cream
CASE
4 sheets ready-made filo pastry
80g butter, melted + extra butter, to brush

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220˚C. Place the bell peppers (keep them whole) and onion slices in a roasting tin. Drizzle with avocado oil and rub all over, roast in the oven until the flesh is tender and the skin is blistered in spots, about 30 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a sealable plastic bag and close the bag. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 minutes. Deseed and peel the peppers (the skins will slip off easily after being in the sealed bag after roasting) and slice them into long strips. Set aside until needed.

For the case, grease and line the base of a rectangular 28cm x 18cm baking tray. Lightly brush each sheet of filo pastry with the melted butter and layer the pastry sheets on top of one another in the greased tray.

Returning to the filling, combine the peppers and onion, shredded roast chicken, fresh parsley, jalapenos and cheeses, and season to taste. Spoon the filling into the filo pastry case. Whisk the eggs and fresh cream together in a jug, and season to taste. Pour the egg mixture over the filling in the pastry case.

Lightly scrunch the sides of the overhanging pastry and brush with butter. Bake, 35 – 40 minutes or until set and lightly golden. Scatter with the extra parsley to garnish.
