ALMOND FETA QUICHE

 

Recipe from Nuts by Avner Laskin
Almonds and feta cheese are both common ingredients in Mediterranean cooking. The combination of flavors in this enticing quiche demonstrates why they are so popular.
Serves 6


INGREDIENTS
Crust:

• 1/2 cup butter, chilled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 1 /4 cups white flour

Filling:
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg, ground
• 2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup almonds, crushed
• 1/4 cup almond slivers, for garnish


PREPARATION

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

5. Remove the dough and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. At this stage, the dough may be stored for up to 2 weeks in the freezer.
