New Potato Spring Onion Montgomery Cheddar Quiche Recipes

NEW POTATO, SPRING ONION & MONTGOMERY CHEDDAR QUICHE

Steps:

• Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the icing sugar, egg yolk and 3 tbsp cold water, then quickly bring together to form a firm dough. Wrap well in cling film and allow to rest for 20 mins in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and line a deep 23cm tart tin. Cover with baking parchment and fill with baking beans. Cook for 20 mins, then remove the paper and beans and cook for 5-10 mins more until the tart case is pale and sandy in texture (see p14 for tips on making and baking pastry).
• Remove and turn the oven down to 160C/140C fan/gas 2. Spread the base of the tart with the potatoes, onions and cheddar. Whisk together the eggs, milk and cream, then season. Pour into the tart case and cook for 40-45 mins or until just set. Remove, cool on a wire rack then serve.

SPRING VEGETABLE QUICHE WITH NEW POTATOES, ARUGULA, AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Make the crust. Combine all of the ingredients for the crust in a large bowl, and stir to mix thoroughly, until you have a dough that will hold together in the pie pan. Press the dough into a lightly greased 10-inch pie plate, evenly coating the bottom and sides. Bake until browned, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Combine the ingredients for the filling in a large mixing bowl, and stir to thoroughly incorporate. When the crust is ready, pour in the filling and return to the oven. Bake until the center sets (a knife inserted will come out dry), about 1 hour. If the sides of the crust start to burn, cover the quiche loosely with foil.
• Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature to set. Serve sliced into wedges, with some lemony bitter greens alongside.
