Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2/3 cups Fustini's Pesto olive oil
- 1/2 cup cold water
Filling
- 9 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 4oz fontina cheese, grated
- 2oz parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 shallots, peeled and diced
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
-
2 cups baby spinach, sautéed and squeezed of excess moisture
-
2 cups Tuscan kale, sautéed and squeezed of excess moisture
-
1 pint tri-colored cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and stir to combine. Add olive oil and water to the flour and continue to stir, on low, creating a shaggy dough (the dough should resemble sugar cookie dough, not quite like traditional pie dough).
Sprinkle a little flour on a clean work surface and roll the dough into a large circle (large enough to fit your springform pan). Transfer the dough to the springform pan, pressing the dough into the sides and edges. Place a sheet of parchment over the dough and weigh down with pie weights or dried beans. Place the crust in the oven and bake for 15- 20 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, place eggs and half and half, whisk to combine. Add fontina, parmesan, shallots, garlic, spinach, kale, tomatoes, salt, and pepper, stir to combine. Once the pie crust is cool to the touch, pour in the egg mixture, and return to the oven (place a large baking sheet under the springform pan to help catch any drips). Bake the quiche for 1 hour, rotating the pan halfway through the baking process, or until the quiche is firm with just a slight jiggle in the middle. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely before slicing and serving
Hi, We’ve made a few of your delicious recipes, but was very disappointed in this recipe. I followed it exactly as printed but it was VERY soupy, even after extra time in the oven. After speaking with numerous cooks, they ALL asked if I sauteed the vegetables first. Of course, I did not, because your recipe did not say it was needed. I would appreciate it if you could check with staff to see if this makes a difference, or if something else in the recipe needs to be changed. Thank you.
