Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 125 grams unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 150 grams Roquefort cheese
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 milliliters whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
To make the pastry, combine the all-purpose flour and diced cold butter in a large mixing bowl. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a food processor, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water gradually, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a 23 cm (9-inch) tart tin with a removable bottom.
Trim off excess pastry, then press the edges firmly into the tin. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling. Line the pastry with baking paper and fill with baking weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the baking paper and weights, then bake for another 5 minutes until the crust is pale golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and chopped parsley.
Pour the egg mixture into the cooled pastry shell, then crumble the Roquefort cheese evenly over the filling.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
