METHOD
Preparing the pastry
- roll out the pastry and line a quiche pan or pie plate; prick all over with a fork;
- cover the pastry with foil or buttered parchment paper and weight with a cup of dried beans. Bake for 5 minutes in a preheated 240º C (500º F) oven; remove the beans and paper and continue baking another 5 minutes; remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 180º C (350º F).
Preparing and baking the quiche
- Place the mussels in a pot with 250 ml (1 cup) muscadet, the thyme, bay leaf and shallots; cover and place over the heat until the mussels open; remove the mussels and set aside; strain the cooking liquid and set aside;
- open up the scallops and poach in 250 ml (1 cup) muscadet; remove them, slice and set aside; strain and reserve the cooking liquid;
- in a saucepan, melt 40 g (3 tbsp.) butter; blend in the flour to make a roux; stir in the two cooking liquids and whisk well off the heat until smooth; return to the heat and cook gently to form a sauce; season with salt;
- beat the eggs and cream in a bowl; add to the sauce;
- in a saucepan, sauté the mollusks in 40 g (3 tbsp.) butter; flambé with calvados; add the garlic and parsley; pour the sauce into the prepared crust; place the seafood on top; bake in a 180° C (350° F) oven for 20 minutes; serve hot.
CHEF'S NOTES
Despite being called a "quiche,” this recipe does not contain cheese: just seafood in a savory sauce.
