There is a lot to get around to, a lot has happened, a lot of dishes have been planned, made and gone. There are about 5 different things I want to address! But to keep things simple and prioritized, I start off with my most pressing question, we can get to the rest later:
Does anybody have any information or experience with creating a sort of Beet Casserole or Quiche with beets? I think a quiche with beets would be the simplest option. I've determined that golden beets would be best for this task since the red would bleed too much into the rest of the filling. Yet, if this was a casserole perhaps that would be OK? The Beet Quiche/Casserole quest has been plaguing me for several months.
I experimented with a pie crust to make a Beet/Kale/Turnip Pie-Like Thing but that didn't work out very well, all the vegetables were roasted (and beautiful) but the consistencies didn't match up, and there was not enough egg or cream or cheese to hold it all together. There also may have been, and I can't believe I am saying this . . . too much pie crust.
Anyway, I really want the perfect recipe to be distilled from these root vegetable + dairy + oven dreams. Perhaps in time for Thanksgiving even!
I did research a bit on the internet a while back but it was hasty and I started experimenting before I had really collected enough data. So, I am calling out to let me know if you have any ideas or leads, suggestions, etc. <3
