Quiche with Sourdough Crust

IF YOU hopped on the sourdough train during the pandemic and are still looking for things to do with your leftover starter, this recipe makes a great home for it! The acidity helps to balance the richness of the quiche, and the live yeast adds a layer of flavor to the crust.

Ingredients

Crust

2 cups (230 grams) bread flour
1¼ teaspoons salt
½ cup cold butter, cubed
½ cup sourdough starter (if you don’t have starter, replace with ¼ cup each water and flour)
2 tablespoons cold water

Egg mixture

8 eggs
1¼ cups grated cheese
¾ cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional add ins: cooked meat, cooked or thinly sliced raw vegetables, herbs, or additional seasoning

Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the butter and mix until it is the size of peas. Add the starter and water and mix until just combined.

Wrap and chill for 1 hour. Roll to ⅛ inch thick and lay it in an 8-inch quiche pan. Chill for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 250oF.

Cover crust with parchment and fill with baking beads. Blind bake for 20 minutes, then 10 minutes without the weights.

Whisk the filling ingredients together and pour into the crust. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160oF.
