Blue cheese quiche

 I need a lunch to take with me to the office tomorrow. I didn't have any leftovers in the fridge - I mean I didn't have anything leftovers I can take with me, those who stay at home tomorrow will need them. I've been fancying a quiche for some time, and at some point during the weekend I noticed a packet of blue cheese in the freezer. I knew I had a some margarine left in the fridge. I usually use only butter or oil, but I baked some dairy free things before summer. It was really time tu use up that small parcel!

Quiche is in the oven now - a bit late, but I went mushrooming with 'Suma and then we had sauna night.

Blue cheese quiche

Crust:

100g fat (butter, margarine)

3 dl flour - I mixed 1 dl of rye flour and 2 dl basic white wheat

1/2-1tsp salt

1 egg

2 tbsp cold water

Work soft fat, salt and flour into sand-like mixture, add egg and water and mix into a smooth dough. Oil the baking dish (24 cm round or similar size square)Pat the crust evenly into baking dish, lift the crust against sides ot the dish. No need to put this on the fridge or blind bake it. Put oven on, 200C.

Filling:

3dl cream or 2dl creamy yoghurt + 1dl milk

2 eggs

salt, pepper

1,5 dl / 100g grated mild cheese

half a packet of blue cheese

Crumble the blue cheese

(I'm allergic to onions as well as leeks, but I've heard caramellized onions or leeks work lovely with blue cheese)

Mix dairy and eggs, add seasoning. Grate cheese. Turn blue cheese into crumbs and spread them evenly over the bottom of the crust (and onions/leeks)
. Sprinkle some of the grated cheese on top of the blue cheese, the pour the filling mixture in. Add rest of the grated cheese.

Bake about 30-40 mins in the middle rack of the oven. Timing depends on the oven, mine bakes very unevenly, so I turn everything 180 degrees in the middle of baking.


I'll have a piece of this with a simple tomato-cucumber salad.
