Ham, Broccoli & Kale Flan with Chia Seed Pastry

Having opened the fridge door and finding just a handful of ingredients, this flan was born. :)

First, prepare the easy Chia Seed Pastry, as instructed at - In Caryl's Kitchen: Chia Seed Pastry.

Filling Ingredients

1 onion - diced
2 cloves garlic - crushed
1 small head Broccoli - cut into very small pieces
1/2 bag Kale - roughly chopped
6 slices of ham - roughly cut into pieces
4 eggs - beaten
1/2 cup creme fraiche (or sour cream)
3/4 cup milk
strong cheese - grated


Fry the onion and garlic together in a little olive oil.  Add the broccoli and stir gently until it just starts to soften.  Add the kale and a drop of stock, or water, stir well.  Cover the pan with a lid for a minute or so, then stir again when kale has just started to cook down.  Stir in the ham and add seasonings to taste.

Mix together the eggs, creme fraiche and milk.

Spread ham mixture evenly into pastry case.  Sprinkle with cheese.

Pour over the egg mixture.  Note:  It is best to do this part after placing the flan on the oven shelf, to avoid spilling over.  (Especially important if you've been drinking while cooking! ;))

Bake in 190 degree C oven for approx. 30 mins.

Serve with a salad and a nice crisp white wine.

Enjoy!
