Ingredients

For Crust:

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in small dice

5 tablespoons chilled organic shortening, cut in small dice ("Jungle" brand is best, available at Whole Foods)

1/4 cup ice water

For Filling:

6 organic egg yolks

1-1/2 cups heavy cream

2-1/2 ounces Boursin cheese

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2-1/2 ounces prosciutto, cut in small dice (about 6 paper-thin slices)

1 cup chopped fresh green asparagus

1/4 cup roasted red peppers, cut in strips or medium dice

1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic (not the prechopped stuff please!)

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

Crust:

Place the flour and salt in a food processor bowl and pulse to combine. Add the chilled butter and shortening and pulse until the fat is cut into the flour and resembles wet cornmeal. Slowly add the ice water, pulsing just until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a rough ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.

Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the dough and fill with dry rice or beans, or pie weights. Bake 30 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights and cook 5 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack while preparing the filling.

Filling:

Place the egg yolks, cream, and Boursin cheese in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the salt, prosciutto, asparagus, red peppers, garlic, and basil. Pour into the pie shell and bake 35 to 45 minutes, until the custard is firm and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Looks wonderful and sounds delicious! I was wondering what would be another cheese to substitute if I can't find Boursin cheese?

Looks wonderful and sounds delicious! I was wondering what cheese could I substitute for the Boursin since I won't be able to find that here?

I can see why your quiches would be popular with the customers - that is not only gorgeous, but the flavors are fantastic. I have almost everything I need to complete this one, just need some fresh boursin and prosciutto, and a quick trip to Whole Foods to pick up the Jungle shortening (never heard of that one) and this one is going on next week's menu...I cannot wait to taste this. Thank you, luisa - your posts are always delicious!

If you can't find Boursin where you live (how dreadful!) below is a recipe for herbed boursin style cheese spread.

Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh or frozen minced chives
cayenne pepper, to taste
coarsely ground black pepper

Preparation:
Put softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Cook garlic cloves in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain then cool for 5 minutes and put through garlic press. Add minced garlic to cheese. Add parsley, chives, and cayenne and blend well. Let stand for 1 hour to allow ingredients to mellow. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Shape into a ball and roll in coarsely ground black pepper. Serve with assorted crackers.
