For the ultimate “comfort food” category, I’d gladly take more of this Taleggio, candied onions & potato quiche. I wanted to cook with this cheese for like ages, so I didn’t think twice when I saw some in the bio shop of my neighborhood. Happy coincidence: I still had half a kilo of homemade puff pastry from Epiphany, so the comforting quiche option came up quickly to my mind. We are clearly witnessing a good old sh*tty Berlin January weather over here, looks like sun forgot to jump into 2019. The only solution: taking out the heavy food stuff to fight greyness and feel all cozy – minus the fireplace, but hey that’d be too much asking !
I have to admit that potato quiche wise, that’s a first timer for me – those 3 last years living in Germany might start to be efficient. But beside my fear of getting a super heavy quiche – yeah well, it is, but still deliciously acceptable -, the association of potatoes, candied onions & Taleggio is a stunner, and that was with the exact same excitment that I made a second one this week to be able to shoot this babe. The recipe is simple and very quick to make, for 2019 I decided to stop doing overly complicated things. For people who can’t find Taleggio, you can replace it with strong soft-paste cheese like Maroilles, Munster or Reblochon! Just to be straight from the beginning: Taleggio cheese stinks as much as his previously mentioned mates, but this is the kind of details you’ll forget quickly once you taste it.
One last thing: this Taleggio, candie onion & potato quiche tastes even better when beign re-heated!
