Broccoli, Pink Grapefruit, Salad - Savory Tarte with Salad



Press the rolled out crust into a from, poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust, and brush some mustard on the bottom. Sprinkle dry herbs over mustard. Any kind of mustard or dry herbs can be used.
Add thin-sliced, sautéed onions (you can use leek or shallots).
Add small pieces of raw broccoli flowers and raw diced carrots on top.

Whisk 2 beaten eggs with ½ cup of milk (or cream), add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over vegetables. Sprinkle grated or shredded hard cheese (any hard cheese like gruyere) over vegetable mix.
Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for 25-35minutes until brown.

Serve with a green salad. I toped my salad with fresh seasonal pink grapefruit and capers, mixed it with a simple salad dressing (vinaigrette).

Broccoli: cabbage family, high in Vitamin C and dietary fiber.
Salad: good for rabbits, turtles and other small animals - or you and me.
Pink Grapefruit: has become popular in 19th century. High in Vitamin C, Fiber Pectin. Helps lower cholesterol.
