Ingredients (Makes 8 to 10 slices):
For the basic quiche filling:
- 5 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 250ml cream
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
For the shortcrust pastry:
- 225g plain flour
- 150g butter, chilled and diced
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 to 2 egg yolks
- a small splash of coldwater, if needed
For the filling:
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 12g fresh sage leaves
- a pinch of fine sea salt
- 150g shop-bought onion marmalade
- 170g goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 or 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C.
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium to high heat.
- When the oil is nice and hot, add the sage leaves and fry for only a few seconds, until they turn crisp and dark green.
- Gently remove them from the pan with a fork (be careful, as they’ll have turned brittle now), transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt.
- Allow to cool, then chop.
- Spread a layer of onion marmalade all over the bottom of the quiche.
- Scatter the goat cheese, rosemary and fried sage evenly over the base.
- Place the tart tin or quiche dish on a baking tray (to make it easier to transfer the quiche to the oven), then pour over the basic quiche filling.
- Cook in the oven for 45 minutes, until the eggs are firmly set and the quiche is golden.
- Allow to cool in the dish on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the rough pastry down to the edges of the dish.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
