The first thing most people learn about the bulbous root vegetable* sometimes known as "Jerusalem artichoke" is the misleading nature of the name. Roast Jerusalem artichokes & leeks with crème fraîche, shaved gouda & hazelnuts. Artichoke makes this soup ultra silky and the crispy skins add a hit of crunch and flavour - perfect as a starter for dinner with friends. The name Jerusalem artichoke is a misnomer: the plant is not related to the artichoke, though the sunchoke's flavor may be reminiscent of the artichoke.
Steps to make Sunchoke (Jerusalem Artichoke) and Leek Breakfast Pie:
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Take a 9 inch glass pie dish and roll out pre-made crust (don't judge me, I'm lazy and the Pillsbury crust is totally sufficient) into the dish, folding the excess over and making a robust crust with the aesthetic of your choosing.
- Using a mandolin slice the Sunchokes and Leeks and set them aside separately.
- Heat a large frying pan on medium high and when heated about 7 minutes add the strip of bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Once the bacon renders down a bit (gets everything deliciously greasy), toss in the Sunchokes and cook with a lid on for 5-10 minutes.
- Add in the Leeks, paprika, pepper, and salt (if you have a good smoked salt, now is the time to use it) and cook for another 15 minutes with the lid on.
- As the goodness cooks down, add milk and sour cream to a blender. mix until smooth.
- Then add eggs into the milk mixture and blend just enough to make the mixture uniform. You want to ensure that not too much air gets incorporated. If there is a significant amount of froth, then you over did it, but don't worry, just let it settle for a few minutes.
- Grate the nutmeg into the egg mixture and stir slightly.
- Hop back over to the Sunchokes and Leeks mixture and test for doneness. The Sunchokes should have the texture of you a cooked, sliced potato. Once everything in the fry pan is cooked, and it into the pie crust and spread evenly.
- Add the milky egg mixture to the pie and using some of the liquid, baste the edge of the crust.
- Take aluminum foil and place it around the crust. This will ensure that the crust will not burn/ cook faster than the rest of the pie. I found out that the easiest way to do this is to take a large enough square of foil to cover the pie, and cut out the center exposing every part of the pie besides the crust.
- Place into the oven for 15 minutes and then drop the temperature down to 350°F, cooking for a remaining 30-35 minutes. Be sure to check the pie about 10 minutes before (meaning after 35 minutes or so) total cook time to remove the foil and add the parmigiano evenly on the filling part.
- Once it looks done, ensure that the bottom is cooked through (this is why I prefer a glass pie dish). if not pop the pie back in the oven for another 5 minutes, being weary of the crust. The last thing you want is a burnt crust after all that pedantic work!
- Let cool a bit, about 10 minutes, and serve. This can be made ahead of time and will last about a week, if not devoured first.
