INGREDIENTS
- 125g cold butter
- 1 or 2 tbsp iced water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 - 5 courgettes
- 1 small leek, sliced into thin rounds
- 3 whole eggs
- 180ml fresh cream
- 150g feta cheese
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1tsp black pepper
METHOD
-
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
-
Mix together the flour, 1/2 tsp salt and butter together. If the dough hasn't come together add a tbsp of cold water.
-
Place the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes.
-
Slice the courgette and leeks into rounds and fry them in a pan with a little oil over a low flame for 5 minutes.
-
Roll out the dough with the rolling pin, until the dough is only about 4mm thick.
-
With a pastry cutter, make 8 discs with a diameter 3cm larger than that of the moulds used for baking. Line the moulds with the pastry discs, prick the bottom of the discs with a fork and bake in the pre-heated oven for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving it turned on.
-
In a bowl, mix the eggs, crumbled feta, cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
-
Place the courgettes and leeks in the empty quiche bases, cover with the egg, cheese and cream mix, and place back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the surface is firm and golden.
