Basturma and Roasted Vegetable Quiche with Gruyere Cheese

Basturma and Roasted Vegetable Quiche with Gruyere Cheese is a delicious and savory dish that is perfect for any meal of the day. This quiche is made with a flaky crust, filled with a mixture of eggs, cream, and Gruyere cheese, and topped with flavorful basturma and roasted vegetables.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water

For the filling:

- 1/2 cup basturma, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, roasted and sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, roasted and sliced
- 1 zucchini, roasted and sliced
- 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Add the basturma, roasted vegetables, and Gruyere cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
