Time 1h10m

Yield 6 quiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

Butter, for greasing the pans
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, diced
5 tablespoons chilled water, plus extra as needed
6 ounces chorizo, or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed, and cooked until crisp
4 eggs
1/2 cup Mexican crema, or creme fraiche
1 cup grated Manchego, Swiss, or Pecorino Romano cheese
1/2 cup diced russet potatoes, boiled until tender and cooled
1/4 cup whole milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grease 6 (4-inch) individual tartlet pans with removable bottoms with butter and place on a baking sheet.
  • Place the flour and salt in food processor and pulse to combine. Add the chilled butter and process to a coarse meal. With the machine running, add 5 tablespoons of water in a steady stream until the mixture forms a dough. Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal balls and press into the bottom and sides of the prepared tartlet pans. Refrigerate the crusts for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line the crusts with foil and fill with pie weights (or dried beans). Bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely (can be made 1 day ahead).
  • Mix the chorizo and remaining ingredients. Pour into the prepared crusts, dividing equally. Bake until the quiches are puffed and cooked through, or when a knife inserted into center of the quiches comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 43m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 new potatoes (about 150g)
6 eggs, beaten
60g chorizo diced
75g frozen peas, defrosted
few sprigs of parsley, finely chopped
50g cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes in a small pan of boiling water for 10-15 mins until tender. Drain, then leave to steam-dry and cool.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a six-hole muffin tin with paper or silicone cases. Tip the eggs, chorizo, peas, parsley and some seasoning into a large bowl. Slice the cooled potatoes into rounds that are the thickness of a £1 coin, and add these to the bowl. Mix gently.

Check the frittatas are set by shaking the tin gently - there should be no wobble. Leave to cool slightly and eat warm, or cool completely and chill for up to 24 hrs.
