There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Parsnip Quiche - Testing


1 - I think I made this one, but didn't write any notes on it.
2 - It's a fine quiche, but a bit monotone. I've added 1 tsp of herbes de Provence to see if it'll help.

1 batch blind-baked pie crust, completely cooled
1oz butter or lard
1 large onion, thin sliced
10-12oz parsnip, grated (about 1 root)
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
3 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp Herbes de Provence
Pinch of salt
2 tsps. grainy mustard
Ground black pepper on top
More mustard to serve
  1. Heat oven to 400F. Blind bake the crust about 15 minutes. Allow it to cool completely before using to allow the crust to set.
  2. Turn the oven down to 375F.
  3. Meanwhile, caramelize the onions in the butter or lard until soft and brown. Add the parsnip and cook until perfectly soft; set aside.
  4. Beat eggs, whisk together with cream, milk and herbes de Provence; blend in cheese. Add mustard, salt and pepper.
  5. In the bottom of the baked pie crust, scatter the onions and parsnip; pour in the egg mix on top and grind fresh pepper on top.
  6. Bake 25-30 minutes, until the custard sets and the crust is slightly brown.
