Fava Leaf And Parsley Quiche
- Crust
- About 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Filling
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 6 ounces fava or spinach leaves
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Custard
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 5 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Make crust: Whirl 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt in a food processor to blend. Add butter; pulse until mixture looks like cornmeal. Add 1/4 cup ice water; pulse again until dough comes together, 30 seconds. Press dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Unwrap dough and let warm up 15 minutes. With a floured rolling pin, roll into a 12-in. round. Press round onto bottom and up sides of a 10-in. deep-dish pie pan. Fold under the crust overhang on pan rim; crimp edge. Chill 30 minutes. Put oven rack on lowest rung. Preheat oven to 325u0b0.
- Line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake crust 25 minutes; remove weights and parchment and bake until crust is slightly browned, about 10 minutes more. Remove crust from oven and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Raise oven temperature to 375u0b0.
- Make filling: In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, fava leaves, green onions, parsley, and salt and cook, stirring often, until leaves are wilted, about 4 minutes. Chop mixture coarsely, then arrange over bottom of warm crust.
- Make custard: Heat milk and cream in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat until mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Put eggs in a blender with half of hot milk mixture and whirl for a few seconds. Whirl in salt and remaining milk mixture. Pour custard into crust, being careful to keep greens evenly distributed.
- Bake quiche until slightly browned around edges and beginning to puff in center, 25 minutes. Let cool until warm or room temperature before serving.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
- Total time includes cooling time.
