Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
⅔ cup butter, diced
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 ounces Parma ham
½ (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
⅞ cup creme fraiche
4 eggs
1 teaspoon chopped flat leaf parsley
⅓ cup milk
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place flour, parmesan cheese, butter, and a pinch of salt in food processor. Process briefly. Add the egg and 1 tablespoon oil through feeder tube, adding extra oil if necessary; you should be able to bring the dough together in your hands. Wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
  • Roll out to fit a 9 inch quiche pan with a loose bottom. Prick all over. Chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Line pastry with foil, and cover bottom with uncooked beans. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans, and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove and cool.
  • Saute; mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil for 10 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • Lay ham over the pastry base, and top with mushrooms and artichokes. Beat together creme fraiche, eggs, parsley, and milk. Season well with black pepper and salt; pour mixture over the ham and vegetables. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden. Serve warm or cold.
