Description
Deliciously creamy Pumpkin & Gorgonzola quiche, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g Plain flour
- 125 g Butter (chilled, unsalted)
- 3 tbsp Cold water
- 300 g Roasted pumpkins
- 6 leaves Sage leaves
- 150 g Gorgonzola cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 200 ml Milk
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- as desired Fried or fresh sage
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add plain flour and chilled butter. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in the chopped sage leaves and add cold water, bringing everything together into a dough. Wrap it in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge and roll it out to fit a 9-inch deep tart tin. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling. Return the tin to the fridge for 15-20 minutes for the pastry to rest.
- While the pastry rests, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the parchment and beans and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool.
- In a blender, combine the roasted pumpkins and water. Blend until smooth, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Place the tart case on a baking sheet. Pour the pumpkin puree into the case, spreading it evenly. Crumble the gorgonzola over the puree, distributing it well.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and milk together with salt and pepper. Pour this mixture gently over the gorgonzola.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown. Cool on a rack until just warm.
- Before serving, sprinkle with fried or fresh sage.
