Name: Chicken and Morel Quiche
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 42 min
Yield: Serves 6
Cuisine: Swiss
Ingredients: 1 sheet of puff pastry; 1 tbsp butter; 1 tsp oil; 2 boneless chicken thighs, diced; 15 g dried morels; 2 large shallots; 3 eggs; 25 cl cream; 25 cl morel soaking liquid or milk; salt; freshly ground black pepper; 2 tbsp breadcrumbs

Method

Rehydrate the morels in warm water, then filter the soaking liquid, leaving the sediment at the bottom of the bowl.
Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan, then brown the sliced shallots. Add the diced chicken and drained morels.
Season with salt and pepper and sauté everything for about 7 minutes, until the poultry is cooked. Leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a tart tin with the puff pastry, then prick the base with a fork.
Sprinkle the pastry with breadcrumbs and spread out the chicken and morel mixture.
Beat the eggs with the cream and the soaking liquid or milk, then pour this custard over the filling.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the quiche is golden and set. Serve hot with a salad.
