Potato Quiche with Sesame

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes
• Salt
• 300 g filo dough
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp butter
• 400 g quark
• 5 eggs
• 100 g Parmesan
• pepper (ground)
• nutmeg
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds (black and white)
• butter (for the dough)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash the potatoes and cook in salted water for about 30 minutes. Drain, peel, and press through a potato masher. Let steam off.

2. 2.

   Preheat the oven to 180°C with fan and top heat. Line a springform pan with parchment paper. Layer the filo dough in 4-5 sheets, cut circles of 38‑40 cm diameter. Brush each layer with melted butter and stack them together. Place this stack on the prepared pan.

3. 3.

   Peel and finely dice the onion. Sauté in hot butter until translucent, then let cool slightly. Drain the quark well and place it in a bowl. Separate the eggs; mix yolks, half of the parmesan, quark, and onions into the mashed potatoes. Gently fold in beaten egg whites, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the mixture into the pan, sprinkle remaining parmesan on top, then distribute sesame seeds. Bake for about 1 hour until golden brown. If the crust darkens too much, cover with foil.
