WHOLE WHEAT QUICHE WITH YOGURT AND EGGPLANTS, is a tasty and fiber-rich recipe.
The quiche is a type of savory pie from French cuisine, essentially equivalent to the Italian sformato. Originally, it is made with eggs and crème fraîche, wrapped in a flour-based crust and baked in the oven.
This is a variant, I would say quite successful, truly excellent. You still prepare the flour shell, in this case whole wheat, which once cooked, will be filled with this yogurt-based sauce, eggplants, feta, and pine nuts. Truly fantastic, very easy to prepare, in little time you will have a great dish to enjoy either warm or cold.
A perfect recipe for summer, fresh, light, and super tasty

Preparation of whole wheat quiche with yogurt and eggplants
In a bowl, pour the flour, water, and oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until you get a dough that can be worked with your hands. Knead it for a few minutes, form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes
Wash the eggplants, remove the ends, and peel them. Cut them into cubes and sauté in a pan with 2 tablespoons of oil and the whole crushed garlic for a few minutes. Salt and pepper, lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring often, until the eggplants are soft. Remove the garlic and let cool
Take a bowl where you will put the yogurt with the eggs, grated cheese, salt, pepper, grated lemon zest, and chopped mint. Add the eggplants and crumbled feta, mix
Roll out the dough.
Line a loaf pan of about 12×30 cm with parchment paper, lay the pastry inside it, and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 12 minutes at 356°F
Remove from the oven, let the whole wheat base cool.
Once cold, put it back in the mold, fill it with the prepared filling, and sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake again for another 30 minutes, or until the filling has a golden color. Let cool slightly before serving
