Flaky and Fluffy Gorgonzola Quiche
- 80 grams Butter
- 130 grams Cake flour
- 1 medium Egg
- 2 pinch Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 50 ml Milk
- 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 1 dash Salt
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 slice Bacon
- 1/2 bunch Spinach
- 50 grams Gorgonzola cheese (Piccante)
- 1 dash Salt and pepper
- Make the tart dough.
- Add the butter, eggs, and flour to a food processor.
- If you don't have a food processor, bring the butter to room temperature and cream it before adding the eggs and flour.
- Use a rubber spatula to cut the butter into the flour and then gather the dough into a ball.
- Not done yet.
- Mix one more time; now scrape the dough with a rubber spatula several times and mix again.
- It should look like this!
- If you stop mixing now, the crust will turn out nice and flaky.
- Place the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and lightly roll it out to a thickness of 7 mm.
- Put it into the refrigerator and let it rest for at least 6 hours.
- Put a baking sheet into the oven and heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Dust the crust with flour and roll it out to a size that's a little larger than the pie pan.
- Press the crust into the pan and finally, roll the rolling pin over the crust to cut off extra crust.
- If the crust seems sticky and loose, freeze for 2-3 minutes before continuing.
- Prick the crust with a fork about 10 times.
- Bake for 15 minutes in a 180C oven.
- If the bottom of the crust puffs up during baking, prick it with a fork to release the air.
- Bake until lightly browned and remove from the oven.
- The crust will not shrink if the dough was refrigerated long enough.
- Leave the oven on at 180C.
- Thinly slice the onions and cut the bacon into 5 mm strips.
- Stir fry until the amount of onions and bacon in the pan is reduced by half.
- Blanch the spinach, chop, and add to the pan.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the gorgonzola cheese into 1 cm cubes and place it and the stir fried vegetables in the pre-baked pie crust.
- After putting the crust in the preheated oven, combine all the egg mixture ingredients and pour carefully into the crust.
- If you can't get all the egg mixture into the crust, pour it into the middle of the quiche during baking.
- Bake for 35 minutes in a 180C oven.
