Ingredients
For the pastry
- 200 g plain flour
- 100 g butter
- 2-3 tablespoon cold water
For the filling
- 2 medium potatoes
- ½ cup cubed cow's cheese or feta cheese
- ½ cup cubes ham
- a handful of arugula/rocket salad
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup double cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- To make the pastry, start by cutting the chilled butter into cubes, then add it to the sifted flour.
- Rub the flour and butter gently with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water, and knead gently so that the dough can come together nicely - it should not stick to the hands.
- Cover with clingfilm and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Dust some flour onto the work surface, and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle.
- Spread it over a quiche/tart dish, making sure the edges of the dish are covered by dough too, not just the bottom.
- Cover the crust with kitchen foil, then fill it with any pulses you have around: lentils, rice, etc If you have baking ceramic balls, even better.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and pulses, and bake for a further 5 minutes until cooked through.
- While the shortcrust pastry is in the oven, we can peel and dice the potatoes, and boil them in salted water until tender.
- To make the filling, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, add the milk and cream and whisk well to combine.
- When the pastry is ready, add the cooked potatoes, cubed or crumbled cheese,arugula, and ham, then pour over the egg mixture ( see picture no 5).
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden.
