Looking for the best fall brunch dish? My famous french country quiche is just the slice you need to make your morning better than ever.
Here’s my recipe: 🥧
For the crust: Use a store-bought pie crust or pâte brisée if you prefer to skip homemade dough.
For the filling:
2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
250g fresh spinach (or 150g frozen, thawed)
150g Gruyère cheese, grated
4 eggs
200ml crème fraîche (or heavy cream)
50ml whole milk
2 tablespoons butter
Salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 9-inch tart pan with your crust and prick the bottom with a fork.
Heat butter in a skillet and sauté the potato slices until just tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside. In the same pan, wilt the spinach over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then squeeze out any excess moisture. Season both with salt and pepper.
Whisk together the eggs, crème fraîche, and milk in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Scatter the potatoes and spinach across the crust, then sprinkle most of the Gruyère over them. Pour the egg mixture carefully over the vegetables, then top with remaining cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the custard is set but still slightly creamy in the center, and the top is golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad. Bon appétit!
