This dish, with its comforting blend of ingredients, evokes memories of family gatherings and festive occasions. Imagine the aroma of freshly baked potatoes and melting cheeses wafting through your kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere. 
This quiche is a versatile meal, perfect for a relaxed Sunday brunch or as a centrepiece for a celebratory dinner.

👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes for about 30-40 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Remove the skins, let them cool, then cut into small cubes. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a drizzle of Sicilian extra virgin olive oil.

  3. 3

    Roll out the puff pastry with parchment paper and place it in a 24 cm pie dish. Fit the edges and pierce the base with a fork.

  4. 4

    Spread half of the potatoes over the base, add diced ham, alternate with ricotta cheese, and finish with the remaining potatoes.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with grated Sicilian Pecorino cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

  6. 6

    Bake in a preheated convection oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes.

  7. 7

    Slice, serve, and enjoy!

💡 Tips and Variations

For a vegetarian version, skip the ham and enhance the flavour with sautéed onions or leeks. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg to the ricotta mixture for an aromatic twist.

📦 Storage

  • • Allow the quiche to cool completely at room temperature before storage.
  • • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • • For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

🍷 Pairing

Pair this Baked Potato Quiche with Contea di Sclafani Grillo, a Sicilian white wine. Its bright, elegant aroma and structured taste beautifully complement the quiche.
