👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 9-inch tart pan with the shortcrust pastry. Prick the base with a fork and blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove parchment and weights and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden.
⏱️ 20 minutes💡 专业技巧: Blind baking prevents a soggy bottom. (预烤派皮可防止底部湿软) - 2
While the pastry bakes, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the halved endives, cut-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly caramelized. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
⏱️ 10 minutes💡 专业技巧: Caramelizing the endives mellows their bitterness. (焦糖化菊苣可中和其苦味) - 3
Remove the endives from the pan and let them cool slightly. Slice them into bite-sized pieces. Stir in the diced ham.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure the endives are cool enough to handle. (确保菊苣冷却到可处理的温度) - 4
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, grated Gruyère cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
💡 专业技巧: Don't over-whisk, just enough to combine. (不要过度搅拌，只需混合均匀即可) - 5
Arrange the sliced endives and ham evenly over the pre-baked pastry crust.
💡 专业技巧: Distribute the filling evenly for balanced flavor in each slice. (均匀分布馅料，确保每一口味道均衡) - 6
Pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it fills the gaps.
💡 专业技巧: Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the filling. (缓慢倒入，以免搅乱馅料) - 7
Reduce oven temperature to 180°C (350°F). Bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
⏱️ 35 minutes💡 专业技巧: The center should be just set, with a slight wobble. (中心应基本凝固，略有晃动感) - 8
Let the quiche cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
⏱️ 10 minutes💡 专业技巧: Allowing it to rest helps the filling firm up. (让派静置有助于馅料凝固)
💡 专业技巧
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of béchamel sauce to the filling. (为了增加风味，可以在馅料中加入一汤匙白酱)
- ✓If you don't have Gruyère, Emmental or a good quality Swiss cheese can be substituted. (如果没有格吕耶尔奶酪，可以用艾门塔尔奶酪或优质瑞士奶酪代替)
- ✓Serve warm or at room temperature. (温热或室温食用皆可)
✨ 创意变奏
为您的创意版本提供灵感
- Add a few strips of crispy bacon along with the ham. (在火腿中加入几片酥脆的培根)
- Incorporate a small amount of crumbled blue cheese for a sharper taste. (加入少量蓝纹奶酪碎，以增加更浓郁的风味)
- Replace ham with smoked salmon for a seafood twist. (用烟熏三文鱼代替火腿，以获得海鲜风味)
