Quiche of artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes

I definitely love quiches, the fillings can be as many as our imagination is able to come up with. Besides, they are a perfect fit for any meal. If you want to have something simple around midweek, you may have a piece of quiche with a soup or a salad.

They are also excellent for a brunch and even for a picnic, since you can also enjoy them at room temperature.

This time I used sun-dried tomatoes, which I soaked for about half an hour before the actual preparation. If you are not a fan of this type of tomatoes, or you just don’t have them, you may replace them for traditional tomatoes, but without the seeds.

This recipe is an adaptation of the Chef Rosario Valdés.

DOUGH PREPARATION

1. In a food processor, and even with the help of a hand blender, place in a bowl the flour, butter and rosemary. Process using short bursts until crumbs are formed. Add the yolk and water.
2. Continue until a dough is achieved.
3. Pack the dough into a plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, butter a round mold (about 20cm in diameter / 8 inches). Set aside.
5. Roll the dough out, and then cover the mold with the dough.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)
7. Bake for about 15 minutes

FILLING PREPARATION

1. Distribute (over the baked crust) the artichokes and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
2. Then add chopped cheese, the beaten eggs with the cream, herbs, and then season with salt and pepper to taste. Once everything is well laid out, bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes or until it solidifies enough.
3. Serve warm or at room temperature.
