Beet-goat cheese quiche
A rustic and delicious pie that combines two food components that I like, beet and goat cheese.
Preparation time: 1 hour
Level: average
Quantity: 1 quiche, 16 sections
Ingredients:
Crust:
170 g butter
200 g of flour
3 egg yolks
fingertip salt
Filling:
250 g of boiled or roasted beets
100 g of leeks sliced
100 g of goat white mold cheese, 100 g of goat cream cheese, or 200 g of any goat cheese
300 g whipped cream
4 eggs
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon herb mixture e.g. Santa Maria pizza seasoning or a mixture of Mediterranean herbs
salt and black pepper for seasoning
A handful of grated cheese to shake onto the quiche
Preparation:
1. Prepare the dough. To do this, chop with a knife or using an electric shredder or with flour to dry crumbs, add egg yolks and salt and knead the dough
2. Shake the flour on the work surface and roll the dough into a slightly larger disc than the baking tin. Alternatively, place a piece of dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll it flat. Spread the dough into a pie tin and line it with the tin
3. Line the dough with parchment paper and pour in the dried peas to help keep the dough in shape during baking.
4. Bake the cake base for about 20 minutes until it is brown and crispy
5. During baking, cut the beets into suitable pieces as desired. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise and wash under running water. Chop the leeks.
6. Mix whipped cream and eggs, season with mustard, herb mixture, salt, and pepper
7. Pour the beet pieces into the baked pie base in an even layer, add the chopped leek, and add the goat cheese. Pour the whipped cream-egg mixture up to the edge of the pie tin, shake over the grated cheese and bake at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes until the pie starts slightly to brown.
8. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
