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.
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
1/3 cup (70g) butter, melted
8 small red onions
olive oil
1/3 cup (80ml) port wine
5.3 oz. (150g) beetroot, cooked and peeled
3 eggs
7 oz. (200g) heavy cream
salt, pepper
7 oz. Gorgonzola or Roquefort
fresh rosemary
70g Butter, geschmolzen
8 kleine rote Zwiebeln
Olivenöl
80ml Portwein
150g gekochte Rote Beete
3 Eier
200g Sahne
Salz, Pfeffer
200g Gorgonzola oder Roquefort
frischer Rosmarin
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
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 :)
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 :)
