How to make a perfect Parmigiano Reggiano Quiche
Work all the ingredients by adding the water a little at a time to have a consistent and soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to rest.
Line a pan with the dough, prick the bottom, and bake for about 10 minutes at 180 C °.
Meanwhile, the filling is prepared by pouring the boiling milk into a saucepan where the butter has melted and the flour has been blended.
When the dough is cooked, add the eggs one at a time, the Gorgonzola and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Season with salt and nutmeg and pour into the cake and put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes at the same temperature.
Which wine goes well with the savory cheese pie?
The flavor of Parmigiano Reggiano, Gorgonzola, and butter is very intense, so let’s choose a savory and sharp wine that can cut the compact taste of the cheese and add floral notes to liven up the pairing. We choose the Lambrusco from the Reggiana winery, a sunny bubble, characterized by aromatic herbs and flowers in profusion, perfect for degreasing without covering the flavor of the savory pie.
If you want a matching cocktail, the Negroni Sbagliato is the right drink!
