Flamiche Recipe - Authentic French Vegetarian Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter (cold and diced)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup leeks (sliced and cleaned)
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or thawed)
  • 1 cup grated cheese (Gruyère or Emmental)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the pastry

    In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold water until dough forms.

    Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.
  3. Cook the leeks

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

    Do not let them brown.
  4. Mix the filling

    In a bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in cooked leeks, spinach, and cheese.

    Make sure the mixture is well combined.
  5. Assemble the Flamiche

    Roll out the dough and fit it into a pie dish. Pour the filling into the pastry shell.

    Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom for even baking.
  6. Bake

    Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden.

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
