Quiche with cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make quiche with cheese? Measure out the ingredients needed to make the dough. Remove the butter from the refrigerator immediately before cooking. It should be cold.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve and combine with cold butter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grind everything with your hands until you get crumbly sand crumbs. Do this quickly to prevent the butter from melting from the heat of your hands. You can use a blender.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the egg with salt until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add the beaten egg to the shortbread crumbs. Mix everything quickly.

6. STEP 6

   

   There is no need to knead the dough for a long time. It should be soft and uniform. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll out the chilled dough between two layers of parchment or cling film into a round layer approximately 0.5 cm thick. The size of the layer should be larger than the diameter of the mold by the height of the sides.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the film from the dough and transfer it to the mold (I have a mold diameter of 20 cm). Distribute the dough over the pan, forming sides about 3 cm high. To prevent the dough from puffing up during baking, prick the bottom in several places with a fork. Place the pan with the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   To avoid swelling of the dough during baking, you can additionally cover the bottom with parchment and pour a load (dry beans, peas) on top.

10. STEP 10

    

    Bake the quiche base in an oven preheated to 190C for about 15 minutes. 5 minutes before the end of baking, remove the pan from the oven, carefully remove the weight and parchment and put the pan back so that the bottom also dries. Then remove the base from the oven.

11. STEP 11

    

    While the pie base is baking, prepare the filling. You can use any cheese, preferably different varieties, to make the taste of the filling more interesting and richer. Any specified type of cheese can be excluded or replaced with another according to taste and availability. Cream for filling is suitable with a fat content of 10-15%.

12. STEP 12

    

    Grate all the cheese on a coarse grater.

13. STEP 13

    

    Combine eggs with cream and beat until smooth. If the cheese is fresher, you can salt the filling. Focus on your taste. I didn't add salt.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour the egg mixture into the grated cheese and stir.

15. STEP 15

    

    Fill the baked pie crust with filling. Return pan to oven.

16. STEP 16

    

    Bake the quiche with cheese at 180C for about 25 minutes. The filling should thicken and brown a little. The baking time and mode will depend on the operating characteristics of the oven and may not coincide with those indicated.

17. STEP 17

    

    Cool the finished quiche slightly, remove from the mold and serve. The pie is good both warm and cooled. But, in my opinion, it tastes better warm, when the filling is very tender from melted cheese. Bon appetit!

This was the first time I made such a pie, everything was exactly according to the recipe. It turned out awesome. The edges are just not even, but that's not scary. Children gobble it up on both cheeks. Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely do it again.
