20 minutes, until it appears a light golden. Remove and
reserve the pastry shell, removing the pie weights and
reserving them separately.
Turn oven down to 350°F on convection bake/roast, same
rack position.
While tart shell is baking, heat the remaining half
tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the shallots until soft, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to
low and add prosciutto and peas. Stir until peas soften,
about 2 minutes. Turn heat off and stir in basil.
In a mixing bowl whisk together the half-and-half, cream,
egg and egg yolk.
Scatter the vegetable mixture evenly along the bottom of
the baked tart shell. Sprinkle the parmesan on top of the
vegetables. Pour the custard into the shell just up to the
edge of the crust.
Place quiche on the bottom rack. Bake for about 25 min-
utes, until the custard becomes set, golden and puffy.
