It is necessary
- Ingredients for 8 persons:
- For the test:
- - 250 g flour and a little for sprinkling;
- - 150 g butter;
- - 1 egg;
- - a pinch of salt.
- For filling:
- - 3 beets (about 225 g);
- - 100 g of walnuts;
- - 200 g cream cheese;
- - 25 g of fresh dill;
- - 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar;
- - 25 g bread crumbs.
- - 40 g of arugula leaves;
- - 8 eggs;
- - 400 ml heavy cream.
Instructions
Step 1
We wash the beets thoroughly and set to cook until tender. At this time, prepare the dough: cut the cooled butter into small cubes, mix in a bowl with flour and a pinch of salt. Add the egg and knead into a homogeneous shortbread dough. We form a ball from the dough, wrap it in cling film, put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180C, put the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes. We clean the cooled beets, transfer them to the blender bowl. Chop the nuts with a knife, add to the beets with cream cheese, balsamic vinegar and dill. Beat the cream until smooth, adding a little breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180C again. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough with a diameter of about 30 centimeters and a thickness of 3-4 millimeters. We distribute the dough in the quiche mold (the recipe uses a mold with a diameter of 25 centimeters). Put baking paper on top of the dough and fill the form with beans or any other beans, send it to the oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove the baking paper and beans from the mold.
Step 4
We spread the beetroot paste in the form, distribute it evenly. Add arugula leaves on top. In a bowl, beat the eggs and cream, salt to taste and pour the quiche with the resulting mixture.
Step 5
We bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, leave it in the turned off oven until it cools completely.
