Carrot and Blue Cheese Quiche

Ingredients:

SHORTCRUST PASTRY:

  • 140 g all-purpose flour (0000)
  • 85 g butter
  • 5 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

  1. Make a crumbly mixture using your fingertips by mixing the flour, salt, and butter.
  2. Add the ice-cold water and form a dough ball.
  3. Transfer the dough to a work surface and proceed with fraisage: press the dough against the surface with the palm of your hand to fully integrate the butter with the flour.
  4. Form a ball again, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  5. Roll out the dough and line a buttered tart pan (approximately 25 cm in diameter). Prick with a fork.
  6. Pre-bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC (390ºF) for 10 minutes.

CUSTARD MIXTURE:

  • 6 eggs
  • 100 g heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  1. Mix all ingredients together.

FILLING:

  • 1 kg carrots
  • Butter as needed
  • A sprig of thyme
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese as needed
  • 100 g blue cheese
  1. Peel and cut the carrots.
  2. In a pan, melt a piece of butter and sauté the carrots. Add the thyme sprig and salt, cover halfway with water, and cover with a lid. Cook over low heat.
  3. Once the carrots have softened but still hold their shape, remove the lid, increase the heat, and let the remaining water evaporate.
  4. Fill the pre-baked tart shell with the carrots, grated cheese, blue cheese chunks, and black pepper, then pour over the custard mixture.
  5. Bake at 200ºC (390ºF) for approximately 30 minutes.
