For the pastry

75 g butter,cold
200 g flour
1 egg yolk
1 Pinch(es) salt
1 Pinch(es) sugar

4 carrot, thick, possibly straight
4 courgette, possibly straight

Preparation

  • Total time: 1 h 30 min

Prepare the pastry

1
Cut cold butter into cubes and knead quickly with flour, egg yolk, salt and sugar to a smooth dough. Chill for 30 minutes
2
Preheat the oven to 180°C convection oven.
3
Roll out the shortcrust pastry thinly and line the moulds with it. Place baking paper on the dough and weigh down with baking peas or similar and bake for 15 minutes.

Finish the quiche

1
Wash the courgette and peel the carrot.
2
Using a peeler, cut long thin strips from the courgette and carrot. Place them on top of each other and cut them all to the same width so that the vegetable strips are as wide as the quiche bases are high.
3
Blanch the vegetable strips in boiling salted water for a few seconds and then rinse.
4
Now lay a few carrot strips lengthways next to each other, brush with a little olive oil and season with salt and herbs. Then cover everything with a layer of courgette.
5
Now carefully roll up the vegetable strips. At the end of the length, keep adding seasoned carrot and courgette lengths and continue rolling up the vegetables until you have reached the diameter of a quiche base. Then carefully place the vegetables in the pre-baked base.
6
When all the quiches are ready, bake them again at 180° fan oven for five to ten minutes.
