Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making a delicious cheese and pear quiche that comes together in under two hours, with most of that time being hands-off resting and baking. The main thing to watch out for is getting the pastry dough just right—it needs to rest for a full hour before rolling out—but after that, you're just layering cottage cheese, pears, and blue cheese onto a pre-baked crust and finishing it in the oven.

  1. 1/4

    Soft pastry dough

    Mix plain flour, butter, grated Primator cheese, egg and salt into a smooth dough. The dough shouldn't be sticky. If it feels too dry, add a splash of fresh milk. Wrap the soft dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour.

    Ingredients

    • 170 gram All-purpose wheat flour
    • 100 gram Unsalted Butter
    • 50 gram Spreadable Processed Cheese
    • 1 piece Chicken Eggs
    • 5 gram Salt
    • 100 milliliter Fresh Whole Milk (3.5% Fat)
  2. 2/4

    Roll out the dough

    Roll out the rested dough into the shape you need and transfer it to a baking tin greased with butter and dusted with coarse flour, or onto a baking tray. Prick the dough with a fork and bake at 180°C for about 10 minutes.

    Filling
