  • 1 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Cold Water
  • 1 whole Egg
  • FOR THE MUSHROOM ASPARAGUS HERB FETA FILLING:
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Crimini Or Portobello Mushrooms, Washed And Sliced
  • 1 cup Asparagus, Washed And Cut Into 1/4-inch Pieces
  • 1 cup Herbed Feta
  • FOR THE HAM TOMATO TARRAGON FILLING:
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk

Method

  • For the crust:
  • Transfer flour, salt and pepper into a clean bowl.
  • Beat olive oil and water together until thick and well combined. (Yes, you can mix oil with water!)
  • Make a well in center bottom of the bowl and pour the oil/water into the middle. Using circular motions with the fork, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet. Gently knead by hand until the dough forms into a ball. Press into a shallow tart pan (mine are about 10 inches in diameter.).
  • Separate the egg. Brush the white over the crusts and transfer to the refrigerator. Add yolk to one of the quiche fillings.
  • For the mushroom asparagus herb feta filling:
  • Beat the yolk along with whole eggs. Gently incorporate milk and set aside.
  • Put a frying pan over medium-high heat and drizzle a bit of olive oil. Saute mushrooms until dark brown and fragrant. Season to taste. Remove mushrooms from heat, set aside to cool.
  • Remove the crust from the fridge. Transfer mushrooms into the tart pan. Sprinkle asparagus over the mushrooms. Pour the egg-milk custard over the tart. Sprinkle herbed feta on top. Set aside while you prepare the second filling.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • For the ham tomato tarragon filling:
  • Gently incorporate eggs into milk and set aside.
  • Stack slices of ham on top of each other, roll and slice into ribbons. Measure about 1 cup of the ham. Set aside.
  • Remove the second crust from the fridge. Transfer tomatoes into the tart pan. Sprinkle ribbons of ham over tomatoes. Tear tarragon leaves over the ham and tomatoes. Pour the egg-milk custard over the tart. Grate Parmesan over the top.
  • Transfer both quiches to hot oven. Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
  • Bon appetit!
