Steps for preparing the green bean quiche
To prepare the delicious green bean quiche, watch the video recipe
Start by trimming the ends of the green beans and washing them under running water. Meanwhile, bring a pot full of water to a boil, salt it, and cook the green beans for 8-10 minutes until done. They should be al dente, not overcooked. Drain them with a colander and let them cool. If you want to preserve the bright green color, dip them in ice water.
In a bowl, break the eggs and add the cream, and mix with a whisk. Then add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and the green beans. Mix again.
Roll out the puff pastry or shortcrust pastry and pour the mixture. Level it with a fork or spatula, roll the edges of the pastry inward and bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes, until golden, or in air fryer mode, at 400°F for 15-18 minutes. Check the cooking in the last few minutes as each oven works differently.
Storage and tips
The green bean quiche keeps for 2–3 days in an hermetic container or well-covered with plastic wrap.
It can be frozen whole or sliced and stored in hermetic containers or freezer bags.
I recommend slicing it before freezing so you only thaw the necessary amount.
Use fresh green beans and high-quality ingredients
