Peach Tart

by Rebecca May 7, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 20 MINS | COOK TIME: 35 MINS | YIELD: one 11-inch tart; Serves 8

This peach tart never fails to impress everyone. It’s the perfect tart to serve to a crowd. Delicious with a captivating presentation. For extra goodness, make sure to serve this with a big dollop of whipping cream.

Ingredients

1/4 c. mild olive oil

1 1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

3/4 c. plus 1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 tsp almond extract

1/4 c. vegetable or canola oil

2 tbsp whole milk

3 small ripe peaches (up to 5), pitted and thickly sliced (about 1/2” wide)

2 tbsp cold, unsalted butter

3/4 tsp kosher salt

How to make Peach Tart

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees.

Step 2: Whisk 1 1/2 c flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar in a mixing bowl until well mixed.

Step 3: Place the oils, milk, and almond extract in a small bowl. Mix well and pour this into the flour mixture. Using a fork, gently mix until just dampen. Into an 11-inch tart pan, transfer the dough and pat it out with your hands, making sure the dough covers the bottom of the pan and at the same time pushing the dough up the sides to meet the edge. The dough should be around 1/8-inch thick all around. Lastly, trim the excess dough and discard.

Step 4: Place 3/4 c sugar, 2 tbsp flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and the butter in a bowl. Mix well until combined. You can add 1 tbsp more flour if your peaches are particularly juicy. Into the dry ingredients, pinch the butter using your fingers until crumbly with fine granules and tiny pebbles.

Step 5: Arrange the peaches, beginning on the outside, overlapping the peaches in a concentric circle over the pastry. You can fill in the middle with your desired pattern. Then, sprinkle the pebbly butter on top.

Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until the tart is shiny, thick bubbles start closing the fruit, and the crust is lightly brown. Remove from the oven when done and transfer on a rack to cool.

Step 7: Serve the peach tart warm or at room temperature with a big dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!

Salt, pepper, and oregano to taste

GROUND MEAT SAUCE:

3 tbsp olive oil

1 lb (500 grams) beef and/or lamb ground

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion minced

3 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped

1 pinch of sugar

⅔ c (55 grams) Parmesan or pecorino or kefalotyri cheese grated

2 tbsp parsley or/and mint

1 can (400 grams) of chopped tomatoes

Salt, and pepper to taste

1 stick cinnamon or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional

BECHAMEL SAUCE:

2 egg yolks, beaten

1 ⅛ c (300ml) lukewarm milk

⅛ c (30 grams) butter

⅛ c (30 grams) all-purpose flour

⅔ c (55 grams) Parmesan or pecorino or kefalotyri cheese grated

Salt & pepper to taste

1 punch of nutmeg, optional

How to make Greek Stuffed Eggplant

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 392 degrees F or 200 degrees C.

EGGPLANT:

Step 2: This step is optional, but you can trim the ends of the eggplant if desired before cutting the eggplant in half lengthwise.

Step 3: In a colander, place the eggplant and lightly sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Then, rinse the slices of eggplant and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 4: Criss-cross and score the flesh of the eggplant slices using a sharp knife. Be very careful not to puncture the flesh. Then, brush the skin and the flesh of the eggplant with olive oil. Sprinkle the eggplants with salt, pepper, and oregano.

Step 5: On a parchment-lined baking pan, lay the eggplant halves, cut-side down. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly golden and tender. Set the eggplants aside when done.

GROUND MEAT SAUCE:

Step 6: Heat the olive oil in a large pan or deep skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion to the pan and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir, and saute for 3 minutes more. Next, add the ground meat, lightly stir, and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 7: To the skillet, add the tomatoes along with the sugar and cinnamon (optional). Adjust the heat to medium-high and let everything simmer for about 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is cooked off. Take the skillet off the heat and add the cheese, parsley, and/or mint. If you used a cinnamon stick, take it out and discard it. Set the ground meal sauce aside to cool.

BECHAMEL:

Step 8: In a small pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour to the melted butter along with salt and pepper. Stir well for a couple of minutes. Then, slowly add in the lukewarm milk, stirring vigorously after each addition and waiting until the milk is fully blended. Take off the heat and add the nutmeg (optional) along with cheese, egg yolks, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring until the sauce has thickened.

TO ASSEMBLE:

Step 9: Fill the eggplant halves with the meat sauce using a spoon and top with Bechamel. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes at 356 degrees F or 180 degrees C until browned.

Step 10: Serve the stuffed eggplant garnished with some chopped parsley. Enjoy!

QUICHE LORRAINE RECIPE

by Rebecca May 6, 2022
written by Rebecca

This quiche is a great dish perfect to serve for breakfast, brunch, or even lunch. Crispy bacon, sauteed onions, and cheeses in a heavenly creamy custard baked in a flaky crust. This classic quiche recipe is incredibly easy to throw together. It is a must-try and keeper recipe!

INGREDIENTS

4 extra-large eggs, room temperature

1 disc pie dough

6 rashers of bacon, sliced into ¼” pieces

1 c. whole milk

1 c. 35% cream

pinch kosher salt

dash of grated nutmeg

pinch of black pepper

1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped

¼ c. Parmesan cheese, grated

1 c. Gruyère cheese, cubed

HOW TO MKE QUICHE LORRAINE

Step 1: To prep, the dough, roll the pie dough into a 12-inch round onto a floured surface. Then, place it on a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges and prick them using a fork. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 2: In the meantime, prepare the oven. Place the rack in the middle position and preheat it to 400 degrees F.

Step 3: Using foil, line the pie shell. Make sure to fit it tight against the shell. Place a pie weights or around 2 c of dry beans or rice. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Uncover and remove the weights. Return to the oven and resume baking for 10 minutes more. When done, place the pie shell on a wire rack to cool and adjust the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.

Step 4: Beat the eggs, cream, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl until well combined. Set the quiche filling aside.

Step 5: Cook the bacon in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat until almost crispy. Place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with a paper towel. Drain the grease from the pan, leaving only 1 tbsp of bacon fat. Adjust the heat to medium and place the pan back on the stovetop. Add the onions to the pan and cook until tender and translucent.

Step 6: To assemble the quiche, evenly distribute the lightly chopped bacon along the bottom of the pie shell. Next, add the onion followed by the Gruyere cheese and grated Parmesan. Into the shell, gradually pour the egg mixture.

Step 7: Onto a baking sheet, place the pie plate. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the crust comes out clean and the quiche is almost firm when jiggled.

Step 8: Take the quiche out of the oven when done and allow it to cool for about 45 minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve the quiche with tossed or fresh fruit salad. Enjoy!
