Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180°C (thermostat 6).

  2. Cook the quinoa

    Bring 30 cl of water to a boil in the saucepan. Add the quinoa and a pinch of salt, then cook uncovered over low heat for 12 min. Drain well.

    Tip · To keep the gratin from being too runny, drain the quinoa well after cooking.

  3. Sauté the onion

    Peel and slice the onion. Sauté it in the skillet with the olive oil for 3 min over medium heat without browning.

  4. Add the zucchini

    Wash the zucchini and cut them into thick 5 mm rounds. Add them to the skillet with the onion and cook for 5 min over medium heat, stirring.

  5. Mix the quinoa and vegetables

    In a mixing bowl, mix the drained quinoa with the zucchini and onion. Add half the crème fraîche and stir.

  6. Make the custard

    In a bowl, beat the eggs with the rest of the crème fraîche and a pinch of salt. Pour this over the quinoa and vegetables, then mix well.

  7. Fill the dish

    Tip everything into the baking dish. Slice the goat cheese log into thick rounds and arrange them on top.

  8. Bake the gratin

    Put the dish in the oven preheated to 180°C. Bake for 15 min until the top is nicely golden.

    Tip · For extra crunch, slide the gratin under the broiler for 2 min at the end.
