Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams cold unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons ice-cold water
- 5 large eggs
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 120 grams Manchego cheese, grated
- 50 grams black olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 100 grams cooked chorizo, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour.
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.
Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 23 cm (9-inch) tart tin. Carefully transfer the dough to the tin, pressing it into the edges.
Trim the excess dough and prick the base with a fork. Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or rice.
Blind bake the crust for 12 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights. Bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the grated Manchego cheese, orange zest, sliced olives, diced bell pepper, cooked chorizo, and half of the chopped parsley.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the quiche for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Seville Quiche!
