Quiche Maraichere from Dorie Greenspan’s ‘Around my French Table’
1Tbsp unsalted butter (I used olive oil because I wasn’t reading the recipe)
2 celery stalks, diced
1 leek, white and light green part only, diced (recipe calls for 2 slender leeks – couldn’t find any!)
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 red capsicum, deseeded and diced
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 large egg and 1 egg yolk
2/3 cup grated gruyere (I used vintage cheddar which is what I had in my fridge)
1 partially baked tart shell (9-9 1/2 inch you can find Dorie’s pastry recipe here)
Prepare all of your vegetables. Me, I just chucked all of my peeled vegetables in my cordless mini chopper. Then saute vegetables in the butter or olive oil for 10 minutes and set aside to cool. I added a tsp of sugar and salt to my vegies as they were a tad bitter. Place vegetable mixture in the tart shell then whisk egg, yolk and cream, season and pour over vegetables. You might not need all of the egg mixture but let the mixture settle around the vegetables.
Bake in 180 degree oven for 20 minutes, top with grated cheese and bake for another 10 minutes until golden brown all over. Remove from tray, cool slightly on cooling rack and serve with green salad. I highly doubt that there will be any leftovers.
thankyou Corrie for these recipes i will try them all,the best recipes are from friends
We have been making them to actually we made 200 for a friends wedding (little one of course) the biggest hit was the aspargas and blue cheese with the smoked samom with cambetree coming a close second. I will now give your recipies a go.
oh yumm next time you mke it can I have some…LOL
Hugs Dawn x x
P.S…so nice of retrodaddy to help you out this week..Hugs to him too
I also love pastry, I must say a eat it raw too. There is a great recipe that is self crusting so you don’t need a pastry. You put in 50g of flour to 4 eggs and put anything you want into the egg mixture with a bit of cream and bake for 40mins. It is a great easy meal that tastes fantastic and it really works.
you are a sweetheart corrie
hope things are picking up for you.
you’ve got to get a thermomix – makes pastry SUPER easy!!
YUM!
Now I want to make a quiche!
Mmmm Yum! I love your pie dish Corrie!
You’ve inspired me Corrie, I might make a quiche on the weekend xx
You know I am so with you Corrie, I LOVE quiche with salad/or without! Only two problems.
1. Hubby isn’t a fan… therefore I can only sneak into the rotation every so often (or when he is away, I eat up a quiche storm!)
2. As much as I love eating it, I am rubbish at cooking them and I’ve had one too many flops trying to make a quiche.
Which simply means I end up with either a frozen quiche OR the preferred option of a tasty deli/patisserie version.
Thank you for sharing this recipe, I might even pluck up enough courage to try it out and cross my fingers for a success! ;o)
Oh Yum, that looks delic. might have to try in the holidays
All my family love quiches and this one sounds absolutely delish. Thanks will give it a go on weekend.
I L.O.V.E quiche!! Leek and Bacon is my favourite (although to someone in the family it’s known as egg and bacon pie!) I think it’s fantastic that you’re little ones eat the quiche packed with veggies! My 4 year old eats up my pizza no question even though there is onion, mushroom, yellow and red capsicum and zucchini on there! If I put all those veggies on a plate by themselves they would stay there! Needless to say it’s a once a week staple in our house : ))
Yum!
That looks delicious. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe with us Corrie. x
