Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 130 grams (4.5 ounces) of flour
- Pinch of salt
- 60 ml (2 ounces) of olive oil
- 60 ml (2 ounces) of ice water
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 3 eggs
- 200 ml (7 ounces) cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
- To make the pie dough, mix the flour and a pinch of salt in a blender. Add the olive oil and pulse. Gradually add the ice water while pulsing until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a quiche dish, ensuring it covers the base and sides evenly.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
- Spread the cooked onion over the prepared pie crust. Arrange the apple slices on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture over the apples and onions in the quiche dish.
- Sprinkle the crumbled gorgonzola cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. If preparing in advance, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. Reheat in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute gorgonzola with any blue cheese. Use half a red onion for a color variation. The quiche can be made a day in advance; bake for 25 minutes, cool, and refrigerate. Reheat before serving. The half-baked quiche can be frozen for up to 1 month.
