    I am a big fan of savory quiches and tarts – I’m just not doing them much often. Dunno why actually…. most of the time they are pretty easy to make – like this one here.

    Onion Beetroot Gorgonzola Quiche | Bake to the roots
    Onion Beetroot Gorgonzola Quiche | Bake to the roots

    This is a delicious quiche with beetroots and red onions – in combination with the Gorgonzola a winning combination. If you’re not a fan of Gorgonzola (heard there are some) you might use some other cheese – maybe Roquefort or if you’re not into the “tasty” cheeses try mozzarella and gouda…

    Whatever cheese you may use – you will get a nice quiche with a stunning look.

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Melt the butter in the microwave and set aside. Peel the onions and cut lengthwise in half. Heat a large pan, add some olive oil and place the onions with cut surface facing down in the pan. Let them sweat over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Deglaze with the port wine and then remove from the heat.

    2. Cut the beetroot in small cubes. Set aside. In a bowl mix eggs with heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    3. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease a 10 inch (26cm) tart tin (best with loose bottom) with some of the melted butter. Place one sheet of filo dough on top and press carefully into the tin to the bottom and sides. The edges should overlap the tin. Brush with melted butter. Repeat with remaining filo dough sheets – rotate the sheets a bit every time.

    4. Add the beetroot to the tart tin as well as the red onions, this time the cut surface should face upwards. Fill the egg mix into the tin – try not to pour over the onions nor cover them. Tear the Gorgonzola into small pieces and place around the onions. Cut off the overlapping filo dough sheets a bit and then press them towards the center to get a nice crust and brush with melted butter. Garnish with some fresh rosemary and bake for 30-40 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down 20 minutes before serving. Serve with a joghurt dip or salad and drink a glass of white wine with it :)

    1. Butter in der Mikrowelle schmelzen und zur Seite stellen. Zwiebeln schälen und der Länge nach halbieren. Eine große Pfanne aufheizen und etwas Olivenöl zugeben. Die Zwiebeln mit der Schnittfläche nach unten in die Pfanne geben und für 4-5 Minuten bei mittlerer Hitze anschwitzen. Vorsicht – nicht verbrennen lassen. Mit dem Portwein ablöschen und dann vom Herd nehmen.

    2. Die Rote Beete in kleine Würfel schneiden und zur Seite stellen. In einer Schüssel die Eier mit der Sahne verquirlen und mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen. Zur Seite stellen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 26cm (10 inch) Springform oder Tarteform (mit Hebeboden) mit etwas geschmolzener Butter einfetten. Das erste Blatt des Filoteiges in die Form legen und vorsichtig in die Form pressen. Die Ecken des Filoteiges sollen dabei die Form überlappen. Mit geschmolzener Butter bepinseln und ein weiteres Blatt Filoteig darauflegen und wieder bepinseln. Mit den restlichen Blättern wiederholen – die einzelnen Blätter dabei jedes mal etwas drehen.

    4. Die Rote Beete und die Zwiebeln in die Form geben – die Zwiebeln mit der Schnittfläche nach oben. Die Ei-Sahne Mischung in die Form füllen – möglichst nicht über die Zwiebeln schütten. Den Gorgonzola in kleine Stücke bröckeln und um die Zwiebeln verteilen. Die überlappenden Filoteigblätter etwas abschneiden und dann nach Innen drücken und mit Butter bepinseln. Die Quiche mit etwas frischem Rosmarin garnieren und im Ofen für 30-40 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und etwa 20 Minuten abkühlen lassen vor dem Servieren. Dazu passt ein Joghurt Dip, kleiner Salat und ein Glas Weißwein :)

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
