QUICHE WITH HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE

Quiche With Herbs and Goat Cheese image

This green quiche laden with herbs and with thin slices of fresh goat cheese baked on top has a Gallic rusticity. A proper quiche (also known as a tarte salée, or savory open pie) should have really good pastry and contain a soft, tender eggy custard. It should be light enough to serve as a first course, or in larger portions for a simple main course. It should be something to sing about.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 5-ounce package chopped mixed winter greens, such as kale and/or chard (about 8 cups)
Kosher salt
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (half of a 17-ounce package)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the greens and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens wilt and most of the liquid evaporates, 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie plate. Ease into the pie plate and trim the edge; crimp if desired. Scatter the goat cheese and Parmesan in the crust, then top with the sauteed greens.
Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; pour over the greens. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the quiche is set, about 20 minutes. Slice into wedges.
