Киш на песочном тесте — это изысканный представитель французской кухни, родом из региона Лотарингия. Он сочетает в себе нежную текстуру рассыпчатого теста с ароматной начинкой из слабосоленой форели и лука-порея. Его вкус — гармония сливочной нежности и пикантных нот, дополненных насыщенным сырным оттенком. Это блюдо идеально подходит как для уютных домашних обедов, так и для торжественных ужинов. Легкость приготовления делает киш любимым выбором для гурманов, а разнообразие начинок позволяет экспериментировать. Поданный с зеленью и бокалом белого вина, он становится настоящим гастрономическим наслаждением, достойным лучших французских бистро.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour: 300 g
• Butter: 125 g
• Chicken egg: 3 pc
• Salt: 0.5 tsp
• Water: 3 tbsp
• Lightly salted trout: 300 g
• Leek: 700 g
• Sour cream 35%: 100 g
• Cream: 100 g
• Grated Emmental cheese: 150 g
• Freshly ground black pepper: pinch
• Ground nutmeg: pinch
• White sesame seeds: 30 g

Cooking steps

1. First prepare the dough. Rub the flour with butter until crumbly. Add a pinch of salt, 3 tablespoons of cold water, and 1 egg. You can add sesame seeds to the dough. Mix everything well until uniform and fluffy, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 300 g
   • Butter: 125 g
   • Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Water: 3 tablespoons
   • Chicken egg: 3 pieces
   • White sesame seeds: 30 g

2. Filling. If making a quiche with leeks, use the whole stalks; first separate and wash them well (there's always sand and dirt between the stalks), chop, boil for 2 minutes, and drain. Instead of leeks, you can use broccoli with green onions (boil the broccoli until soft in this case).

   Required ingredients:

   • Leek: 700 g
   • Lightly salted trout: 300 g

3. Sauté the onion (or broccoli) to evaporate excess moisture. If making a quiche with fresh red fish, it should also be sautéed first.

   Required ingredients:

   • Leek: 700 g
   • Lightly salted trout: 300 g

4. Mix the prepared onion (or broccoli with green onion) with finely chopped fish and add pepper. The filling is ready.

   Required ingredients:

   • Freshly ground black pepper:  pinch

5. Filling. Mix two eggs, cream, sour cream, and cheese well. Add a pinch of nutmeg.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 3 pieces
   • Cream: 100 g
   • Sour cream 35%: 100 g
   • Grated Emmental cheese: 150 g
   • Ground nutmeg:  pinch

6. Take the dough out of the fridge, soften it, and roll it out in a thin layer in a form (about 23 cm in diameter), shaping the edges to be about 3 cm high.

7. First, the dough needs to be pierced with a fork several times to prevent it from puffing up at the bottom and placed in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 10 minutes. This is a very important step that should not be skipped. The main thing is that there should be no excess moisture in the quiche and the dough should be tasty and crumbly. Everything else is a defect.

8. Take out the crust and spread the filling over it. There should be enough filling, but the topping should also fit without overflowing.

9. Fill everything to the brim (it won't be uniform anyway, so you need to monitor the evenness of the cheese content).

   Required ingredients:

   • Grated Emmental cheese: 150 g

10. Place in the oven for about 30 minutes at the same temperature. Check for doneness during baking. 15 minutes before it's done, you can take out the quiche and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

    Required ingredients:

    • White sesame seeds: 30 g
