Silky Roquefort Quiche with Double Cream: Elegant Recipe for 8

Ingredients (Serves 8)
  • 350g puff pastry (for a 25-28 cm springform tin)
  • 8 eggs (55-60g each)
  • 1 litre double cream
  • 350g Roquefort cheese
  • ½ nutmeg, grated
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
Preparation
  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Cook time: 35 minutes

Line the springform tin with puff pastry.

In a bowl, whisk the whole eggs with pepper, grated nutmeg, and double cream until smooth and frothy.

Prick the pastry base all over with a fork.

Crumble the Roquefort evenly across the base, then pour the cream mixture on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (thermostat 6) for about 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a knife blade into the center—it should come out clean. Remove and serve lukewarm.

Joëlle's Pro Tip: Add 100g diced smoked ham to the mixture for a savory boost. Opt for a removable-base tin for effortless unmolding.
