Onion, Brussels sprouts & potato quiche slice

Ingredients

Base recipe = 8 servings (auto-scales).
  • 10 oz brisée dough
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 oz Brussels sprouts
  • 1 large Idaho potato
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 oz shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Cook the potato & prep veg: Wrap the Idaho potato in foil and bake at 350°F for ~45 minutes; cool and dice. Blanch Brussels sprout petals/leaves; drain well. Slice the onion thin and slowly caramelize in olive oil (optionally render bacon first, then add onions).
  2. Mix the custard: Whisk together heavy cream, eggs, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Fold in the diced potato, blanched Brussels, and caramelized onion. Refrigerate while you prepare the crust.
  3. Blind-bake the crust: Roll brisée to fit a 12" tart pan. Line, add parchment and weights. Bake at 350°F for ~22 minutes. Remove weights, brush with beaten egg, and bake 2 more minutes to seal.
  4. Final bake: Fill the shell with the mixture, sprinkle Parmesan over the top, and bake at 325°F for ~35–45 minutes until just set in the center. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
