Quiche Lauren with chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake quiche Lauren in the oven? Prepare all the indicated ingredients. Cut the cold butter into cubes and place in a blender bowl. Add flour sifted through a sieve and half a teaspoon of salt. Grind the mixture with a blender into crumbs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Next, beat the egg into the blender bowl and mix the mixture with a blender until smooth. Then add cold water in parts and knead the dough. You can start doing this in a blender, and when the mass becomes denser, continue on the work surface or immediately transfer the flour part into a bowl and add water there. You may need a little less or more flour than indicated. The dough should be elastic and not stick to your hands.

3. STEP 3

   

   Do not knead the dough with your hands for a long time, as this will cause the butter to melt. Form the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover it with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for about an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   How to make the filling for Lauren's French chicken pie? Wash the chicken fillet in running water and dry with paper towels. Cut the fillet into medium cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion and finely chop it. Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan and fry the onion over medium heat for a couple of minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the chicken fillet in the pan and simmer along with the onion for about ten minutes until the chicken is soft.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the cream into the pan and simmer the filling for another five to seven minutes. The cream should thicken and the filling should not contain excess moisture. Our filling is ready

8. STEP 8

   

   Meanwhile, in a separate glass, beat eggs, sour cream and a pinch of salt with a mixer. It is necessary to achieve a uniform consistency. Wash the eggs in warm water with a cleaning agent, as there may be harmful bacteria on their surface.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out to the size of the mold, leaving some room for the edges. Grease the bottom of the mold with a drop of sunflower oil and spread the dough. The side should be about four centimeters high. Prick the dough with a fork. I have a mold with a diameter of 22 centimeters.

10. STEP 10

    

    Spread the filling evenly over the dough base.

11. STEP 11

    

    Top the pie with the beaten egg mixture. And sprinkle with finely grated cheese. Bake the quiche Lauren in an oven preheated to 180C for about 40 minutes. An appetizing golden brown crust should form on the surface of the pie. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven. Remove the finished pie from the oven, let it cool, cut into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

I'm delighted with this pie. You can add mushrooms to the chicken.

I was interested in the recipe for Quiche Lauren with chicken; I have never made a savory pie from such dough before. It became all the more interesting to try. I crushed the flour and butter into crumbs, added the egg and water, and kneaded the dough. It mixes interestingly, at first the flakes don’t want to come together in any way, and then it turns out to be one dense elastic ball. I refrigerate it while I make the pie filling. I didn’t have chicken fillet, but I did have minced meat. This is what I use for the filling. Fry it in a frying pan in oil with onions, add cream, simmer for a while, add salt. I rolled out the dough to the size of the mold and placed the minced meat filling on it. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with sour cream and pour it over the filling. It felt like the amount of the indicated ingredients would definitely be less or more, suddenly something would be missing, or there would be too much of something. But no, everything turned out to be just right and fit into one form. Sprinkled grated cheese on top and put it in the oven. My oven is very capricious, and the pan is quite thin, so I baked it over low heat, placing the rack with the pan almost at the very top, otherwise the bottom will burn and the top will not brown. Quiche Lauren took almost an hour to bake and turned out very tasty. The shortbread dough was soaked with a juicy filling, the cheese gave an appetizing crust. This is a wonderful recipe for a teatime snack.

I sprinkled some herbs on top of the pie (it's not in the recipe). In our family, greens are added to almost any dish: soup, sprinkled on side dishes, meat, etc. We're so used to it. Therefore, when I decided to bake a pie, I decided not to break family traditions. Thanks to the author for the detailed photo recipe. I succeeded! When I did it for the first time, I was very worried that it wouldn’t work. The result was a very tasty Quiche. The family appreciated it and asked me to repeat it!
