An egg mixture packed with vegetables surrounded by delicious puff pastry—doesn't that sound delicious? A quiche is easy to prepare, so easy that you'll know the recipe by heart after making it twice. Especially in the winter months, this is a tasty, filling, and impressive recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 roll of puff pastry
- 4 eggs
- 150 ml light cream
- 80 g grated cheese (e.g., Parmesan)
- 150 g mushrooms
- 2 leeks
- 1 handful finely chopped parsley
- salt and pepper
- optional: 125 g bacon bits
Preparation
- Preheat the oven and leave the door open. Slide the fire to one side.
- Fill a mixing bowl with the eggs and cream and stir well with a fork.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper, and set aside. - Wash the leeks and cut them into slices about 2 cm thick. Clean the mushrooms and cut them into quarters.
- Fill a small pan (without a non-stick coating) or a metal oven dish with the leeks, mushrooms, and bacon bits and place in the oven at medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until crispy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the coals from the oven, or work with a metal shield so that you are not exposed to direct radiation.
- Line a round or rectangular baking dish (depending on the shape of the puff pastry) with parchment paper. Place the puff pastry in the dish and make sure the edges are raised. Spread the cooked leeks, bacon, and mushrooms over the bottom of the pastry.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top and make sure that the mixture is not submerged (this will give us a nice, crispy top with tasty pieces of bacon, leek, and mushroom).
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You can place the dish on a raised rack or directly on the stone floor. Turn the dish a quarter turn every now and then so that all sides cook evenly.
- Before cutting, check that there is no raw egg mixture left in the center of the mold. If dry, cut away!
