Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 as needed vegetable oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with vegetable oil spray and set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the pastry crust, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the 6 tablespoons of cubed cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a square slightly larger than your baking dish. Gently press it into the prepared dish, trimming any excess dough along the edges.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sautéed onions, shredded Swiss cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pastry crust in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 12 small squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
