What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Sunshine Eats: Quiche Fromage! If you’ve ever been to Paris, you can’t help but be charmed by the street vendors near Notre Dame along the Seine River. One in particular featured homemade quiche specialties for picnicking tourists. There’s nothing more charming than grabbing a spot on the nearest bench for a lunchtime picnic in the midst of people-watching, that’s for sure. You can relive the moment with today’s version of cheese quiche made with a puff pastry crust. Ooh là là!
QUICHE FROMAGE
Ingredients:
One puff pastry sheet
5 eggs
1/3 cup crème fraîche or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup light cream
1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
6-7 ounces Sartori Montamoré cheese, crumbled
Instructions:
Thaw the puff pastry for 40 minutes. Roll out to fit a 10 1/2″ pie plate. Crimp the edges and pierce the bottom with a fork. Place pie plate in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425°. Line the pastry with foil and place pastry weights in the bottom. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Remove the foil and pastry weights, pierce dough again if needed, and bake 5 minutes longer until bottom is golden. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, crème fraîche, light cream, Herbes de Provence, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Fold in cheese crumbles. Spoon mixture into the pastry crust. Bake 30 minutes until the filling is golden and the crust is puffed. To test for doneness, insert cake tester. If pick comes out clean, the quiche is baked through. Serve immediately. Enjoy with a glass of Pinot Noir.
Tha is so tempting! I can taste hot, melted cheese in every bite.
Thank you.

i’m going to make this for brekkie this morning. i don’t have the crust ready and we don’t need the calories, but i’ll mix up the rest – oh, i had a bit of beef sausage leftover from pizza making – i’ll throw that in, too. Thanks for this idea!

I enjoyed the river cruises on one trip and then on another trip soldiers armed with machine guns patrolled the streets. We stayed at the Intercontinental so we were right in the middle of it. Quiche is always good no matter where you get it!

I like cruising the Seine as well. And, thankfully, I visited Notre Dame before the horrific fire. 🙏🏻🍃
