Flaky and Fluffy Gorgonzola Quiche
I've tried making my favorite quiche with various kinds of cheeses. Now in my 10th year of making this quiche, this is how I make it.
At Step 5, I recommend resting the dough in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to prevent issues during baking. When pre-baking the crust, preheating a baking sheet in the oven will make the crust cook better and even the inside of the crust will come out flaky.
For Step 6, you can roll out the dough between pieces of parchment paper instead of dusting a surface with flour. Recipe by Akikofusuki-

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the tart dough. Add the butter, eggs, and flour to a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, bring the butter to room temperature and cream it before adding the eggs and flour. Use a rubber spatula to cut the butter into the flour and then gather the dough into a ball.

Not done yet.

Mix one more time; now scrape the dough with a rubber spatula several times and mix again.
- 4
It should look like this! If you stop mixing now, the crust will turn out nice and flaky.
- 5
Place the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and lightly roll it out to a thickness of 7 mm. Put it into the refrigerator and let it rest for at least 6 hours. Put a baking sheet into the oven and heat the oven to 180ºC.
- 6
Dust the crust with flour and roll it out to a size that's a little larger than the pie pan. Press the crust into the pan and finally, roll the rolling pin over the crust to cut off extra crust.
- 7
If the crust seems sticky and loose, freeze for 2-3 minutes before continuing. Prick the crust with a fork about 10 times. Bake for 15 minutes in a 180℃ oven. If the bottom of the crust puffs up during baking, prick it with a fork to release the air.
- 8
Bake until lightly browned and remove from the oven. The crust will not shrink if the dough was refrigerated long enough. Leave the oven on at 180℃.
- 9
Thinly slice the onions and cut the bacon into 5 mm strips. Stir fry until the amount of onions and bacon in the pan is reduced by half. Blanch the spinach, chop, and add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- 10
Cut the gorgonzola cheese into 1 cm cubes and place it and the stir fried vegetables in the pre-baked pie crust.
- 11
After putting the crust in the preheated oven, combine all the egg mixture ingredients and pour carefully into the crust. If you can't get all the egg mixture into the crust, pour it into the middle of the quiche during baking. Bake for 35 minutes in a 180℃ oven.

Tart Crust for Quiche Tart Crust for Quiche
This is one part of a dish that I struggled really hard with while looking at various recipe books and websites. I've tried using both the microwave and the oven and I think I've finally found something successful.If you use margarine, you can put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes and it will become the same hard consistency as butter.In Step 6, if you use a rolling pin to roll out the dough, cover the dough with plastic wrap and it will spread easier.In Step 8, if you fill a one size smaller cake mold with rocks, it becomes perfect to use as pie weights.Step 9 can be refrigerated as-is. For 22 cm [8.7 in] tart pan. Recipe by tora-mame -
Five Cheese and Onion Quiche Five Cheese and Onion Quiche
Cheese is a passion for me—I love all kinds, and the stronger, the better. We always have a variety of cheeses at home; my son and I are big fans. This recipe is a tribute to my love of cheese, using up some leftover pieces that were getting a bit hard. It turned out to be a great way to avoid waste, and I really enjoyed it. I hope you like it as much as I do! Feel free to use your favorite cheeses to make it your own.For this recipe, I used Comté (French), Parmesan (Italian), Emmental (Swiss), Manchego (Spanish), and Mahón (from the Balearic Islands). Quiche is originally from France, specifically the Lorraine region—hence the name "Quiche Lorraine." But it's a close cousin to Italian pizza or Spanish cocas: you start with a crust and top it with whatever ingredients you like or want to use up.
