Quiche with pear and Roquefort

6 servings

45 minutes

Pear and Roquefort quiche is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of fruits with the spiciness of cheese. The dish's origins trace back to French gastronomy traditions, where quiche serves as a versatile base for filling experiments. In this version, thin slices of pear add sweet freshness while Roquefort contributes a noble saltiness and rich flavor. The fluffy egg filling, enhanced with sour cream and airy egg whites, creates a creamy texture, while Parmesan and pine nuts add a crunchy accent. This quiche is perfect for an elegant dinner, brunch, or a light snack paired with a glass of white wine.
