Yellow Squash and Mozzarella Quiche with Fresh Thyme

Ingredients for Yellow Squash and Mozzarella Quiche with Fresh Thyme

• 160g unbleached plain flour

• 1/2 colher de chá de sal

• 110g (1 tablete) de manteiga sem sal gelada, cortada em cubos de 1,25 cm

• 60ml (ou mais) de água gelada

• 1 colher de sopa de manteiga

• 350g yellow crookneck squash, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

• 2 colheres de chá de tomilho fresco picado

• 6 ovos grandes

• 240ml whipping cream

• 3/4 colher de chá de sal

• 1/4 colher de chá de pimenta-do-reino moída

• 1/4 de colher de chá de molho de pimenta

• 180ml (packed) coarsely grated mozzarella cheese (about 90g )

Blend flour and salt in processor. Add butter. Using on/off turns, blend until coarse meal forms. Add 60ml ice water. Using on/off turns, blend until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Preheat oven to 191°C. Roll out dough on floured surface to 14 1/2-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Fold overhang in; press to form double-thick sides. Push sides up until 1/4 inch higher than top edge of pan. Pierce crust all over with fork. Freeze 10 minutes.

Line dough with foil and dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 25 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is golden, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 15 minutes. Transfer crust to rack; cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 177°C.

Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add squash and thyme. Sauté until squash is just tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Whisk eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in bowl. Arrange squash over bottom of crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Place tart pan on oven rack. Pour egg mixture into crust, filling completely (some egg mixture may be left over).

Bake quiche until filling is golden and set in centre, about 35 minutes. Transfer quiche to rack; cool 15 minutes.
