Directions

  1. 1

    Cut 200 g of cold butter into small cubes and put them together with flour and crème fraîche in a food processor or knead into a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. When the dough forms into a dumpling, take it out, wrap it in foil and refrigerate it for 1 hour. In the meantime clean and wash the zucchini and cut them lengthwise into slices of about 0.5 cm. Peel onions and cut them into fine slices. Heat some oil in a pan. Fry the onions in it. Add vinegar, toss briefly and take out.

  2. 2

    Heat some oil in the pan. Fry the zucchini lightly in portions. Season with salt and pepper and remove. Peel the prawns, except for the tail fin, and remove the intestines. Wash the prawns and pat them dry. Heat 20 g butter in a frying pan and fry the prawns for 2 minutes while turning. Season with salt and pepper and remove. Dice the feta cheese. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a circle (approx. 32 cm Ø). Line a greased quiche dish with lift-off base (approx. 29 cm Ø) with it. Cut off any excess dough. Prick the base several times with a fork. Line dough with baking paper and fill in dried peas. Pre-bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 225 °C/ convection oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 4) for approx. 10 minutes.
