  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter 113g, cubed
  • 4 tbsp ice water 60ml
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 240ml
  • 1/2 cup whole milk 120ml
  • 1 cup butternut squash 150g, cubed
  • 1 cup broccoli florets 100g, small pieces
  • 2 cups fresh kale 60g, chopped
  • 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese 120g
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves 3g

Equipment

Method
 

Making the Quiche
  1. Pulse flour, butter, and salt in a food processor. Add ice water until it forms a dough. Chill for 30 minutes, then roll out and press into a tart dish. Blind bake with pie weights at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, remove weights, and bake 5-10 more minutes until golden brown.
  2. Toss butternut squash cubes and broccoli florets in olive oil. Roast at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until the squash has slightly charred edges.
  3. Sauté chopped kale and minced garlic in butter until wilted. Add a splash of heavy cream and cook until thickened.
  4. Whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg until smooth. Fold in the creamed kale.
  5. Pour the custard into the baked crust. Embed roasted squash and broccoli into the filling. Add dollops of ricotta on top. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until perfectly set. Garnish with fresh thyme and coarse cracked black pepper.

Notes
