Description

Imagine a slice of pure comfort, a warm embrace on a plate. This quiche is a celebration of simple flavors elevated by expert technique. The foundation is a buttery, crisp pastry that provides a delightful textural contrast to the rich, creamy interior.

Each bite offers a satisfying crunch that gives way to a melt-in-your-mouth experience. At the heart of this quiche lies a decadent custard, a velvety smooth mixture of eggs and cream that creates a luscious base. This custard is generously studded with not one, but three distinct cheeses, each contributing its unique character to the overall flavor profile.

One cheese brings a sharp, tangy zest, awakening the palate with its boldness. Another offers a mellow, nutty sweetness, adding depth and complexity. And the third introduces a creamy, almost buttery richness that binds all the flavors together in perfect harmony.

The combination is a symphony of tastes and textures that dance across your tongue. As you cut into the quiche, the aroma alone is enough to entice. The warm, inviting scent of baked pastry mingles with the savory fragrance of melted cheese, creating an irresistible olfactory experience.

Each slice reveals a mosaic of textures, from the golden-brown crust to the creamy, cheese-laden filling. The quiche is substantial enough to be a satisfying meal, yet light enough to leave you feeling pleasantly content. This quiche is incredibly versatile.

It's equally delightful served warm, allowing the cheeses to express their full, melted glory, or chilled, when the flavors meld together in a more subtle, nuanced way. It's perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch, a light and elegant lunch, or even a sophisticated appetizer. Pair it with a simple mixed green salad, its crisp freshness providing a counterpoint to the richness of the quiche.

Or, for a heartier meal, serve it alongside steamed green vegetables, their vibrant color and delicate flavor complementing the quiche beautifully. Whether you're looking for a comforting classic or a dish to impress, this cheese quiche is sure to deliver.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
    2.
    Add the ground almonds, flax and coconut oil to a food processor. Pulse to combine and form a crumb.
    3.
    Season the flour mix with salt and pepper and add 1 egg to the food processor. Blend slowly until the mixture comes together as dough.
    4.
    Press the dough evenly into a loose bottomed tart tin approximately 18cm, and place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Remove and leave to cool.
    5.
    While the pastry is baking, you can make the filling. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low medium heat. Slice the onions and garlic and add to the hot pan, frying gently until softened - about 4 minutes.
    6.
    Once cooked, arrange the onion and garlic in the cooked pastry and reduce the oven temperature to 360 degrees.
    7.
    Add the cream and the remaining eggs to a mixing bowl, season and whisk together.
    8.
    Add the grated cheddar, gruyere and mozzarella to the cream mixture and stir through well to combine.
    9.
    Pour the cheese mixture into the pastry case over the onions and garlic.
    10.
    Place in the oven and bake for 30 - 35 minutes until cooked through and golden brown on top. Leave to cool before removing from the tin.
