SOUTHWESTERN BACON QUICHE



Southwestern Bacon Quiche image

Bacon, green chiles and pepper jack are baked into a cilantro-and-chile powder custard in a homemade crust.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more, for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, diced and kept very cold
4 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
1/3 cup ice water, plus more, if needed
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
1/2 cup roughly chopped canned green chiles
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
3 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon chile powder

Steps:

  • For the crust: Put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse to combine. Add about a third of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, 5 or 6 pulses. Add the vinegar. Then, while pulsing quickly a few times, add the ice water through the tube. Squeeze some dough between your fingers; it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. Pulse quickly; do not overwork the dough or the crust will be tough. Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten the dough into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Then roll the dough on the floured surface into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
  • For the filling: Sprinkle the scallions evenly into the crust. Combine the pepper jack, bacon and chopped green chiles in a medium bowl and sprinkle in an even layer over the scallions.
  • For the custard: Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Stir in the cilantro and chile powder.
  • Pour the custard over the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Spinach and Bacon Quiche image

A friend of mine made this, and I just had to have the recipe. And it is the best tasting quiche I have had in years. Never any complaints when I make it. Great for a fall/winter dinner with a cup of soup.

Provided by Lindalou

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Quiche

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ pound sliced bacon
1 (9 inch) single refrigerated pie crust
6 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
5 dashes hot pepper sauce, or to taste
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped green onion
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Spread the spinach into the bottom of the pie crust; top with bacon, Cheddar cheese, and green onion. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, and sprinkle the quiche with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • For the perfect quiche crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour. This will give the crust a flaky and tender texture.
  • If you don't have any bread flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour. However, the crust may not be as flaky.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When blind baking the crust, use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the parchment paper. This will help prevent the crust from bubbling up.
  • Don't overfill the quiche crust. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the quiche to set.

Conclusion:

This bacon and green chile quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's perfect for a crowd or a family meal. The quiche is also a great way to use up leftover bacon and green chiles.
