New York style quiche

Last few weeks I was in New York. I have been to a lot of nice food places, one of them was a tapas restaurant called Boqueria. Inspired by their Coles de Bruselas y Chorizo dish I made a quiche, also inspired by a previous Kookjegek recipe.

It was a nice restaurant on Spring street New York. But I dedicate more attention on that in a central New York post, which will be posted later on. Like I said, I tried one of their dishes called Coles de Bruselas y Chorizo. It was a simple dish which combined chorizo & brussel sprouts. I like the flavor and decided to give it a spin. Why not combine it with some nice cheese in a quiche?

It turned out very good. Even better than expected. The cheese adds a nice touch to the chorizo and I always like Brussel sprouts if prepared well. Definitely a dish to repeat.

Ingredients (serves 4)

500 grams Brussel sprouts
150 grams Chorizo
6 sheets of puff pastry
3 eggs
250 ml whipping cream
200 grams old gouda cheese
100 grams gouda cheese
butter

Preparation

Grease a ovenproof dish with some butter. Cover the dish with the sheets of puff pastry. Clean the sprouts by removing the hard stem ends and rinse in water. After that you can blanch them in boiling water. In the meanwhile you can grate the cheese and cut the chorizo in pieces. Create a mixture of the egg, whipping cream and the grated cheese.

Spread the sprouts & chorizo around the pastry shell. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the pastry shell. Bake the quiche for about 30 minutes in a oven of 200 degrees or until golden brown.

Yesterday I came across the foodblogevent Grow Your Own on Andrea’s Recipes. Grow Your Own is about creating dishes out of homegrown products. I created a endive & chicken quiche and I also added some homegrown chives to it. Inspired by a recipe from C1000.

I was already planning on making something with curly endives, when I came across a endive quiche recipe from C1000. I decided to make a quiche with my own kind of filling. This included endive, chicken, gouda cheese & homegrown chives.

Ingredients (serves 4)

6 sheets of puff pastry
3 eggs
150 ml whipping cream
150 grams old gouda cheese
200 grams curly endive
150 grams chickenfilet
50 grams homegrown chives

Preparation

Grease a ovenproof dish with some butter. Cover the dish with the sheets of puff pastry. Chop up the endive, chickenfilet and chives. Fry the chickenfilet in a pan with some olive oil until the pieces are slightly brown. Also fry the endive until it’s a bit reduced in size.

Create a mixture of the eggs, grated cheese, chives and cream. Spread the chicken and endive around the pastry shell. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the pastry shell. Bake the quiche for about 30 minutes in a oven of 200 degrees or until golden brown.
