Sheet-Pan Quiche

Ingredients

  • - FOR THE CRUST -
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled, plus more for work surface
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 7 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
  • - FOR THE FILLING -
  • 1 bunch scallions, root ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 cup canned fava beans, drained
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: For the Crust: Whisk together flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl.  Cut in butter with two forks or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal, with several pea-size pieces remaining.  Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, using a fork to pull dough together into a crumbly pile.  (Add up to 2 additional tablespoons water, if needed.)  Wrap in plastic wrap, shaping the dough into a rectangle, and chill at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough to an 18×14-inch rectangle. Fit into the bottom and up the sides of a jelly-roll pan. Trim edges to a 1-inch overhang, turn overhang under, and crimp. Freeze 20 minutes. Line dough with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang all around. Fill with pie weights, rice, or dried beans. Bake 20 minutes. Carefully remove pie weights and parchment paper and bake until crust is dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Cool completely.

Step 3: For the Filling: Toss together scallions and butter on a small rimmed baking sheet.  Season with salt and pepper.  Roast until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes.  Set aside 3 or 4 whole scallions; chop remaining scallions.  Sprinkle half of Gruyere on bottom of crust.  Whisk together eggs in a bowl.  Whisk in half-and-half, fava beans, dill, chopped scallions, and remaining half of cheese.  Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Pour egg mixture into crust.  Arrange whole scallions on top.  Bake until no longer wobbly in center, 18 to 20 minutes.
