BACON-CHEDDAR QUICHE



Bacon-Cheddar Quiche image

This mashup of Julia Child recipes, combining elements of her quiche Lorraine and quiche au fromage, then pouring them into a lard-and-butter based pie crust, results in a serious breakfast feast. You could make the whole thing the night before serving it, and consume it at room temperature in the morning. But just making the dough for the crust in advance will save loads of time -- and the pleasure of the bubbling hot dish on a breakfast table is impossible to deny.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 tablespoons lard, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar
6 strips bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon chopped sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • To make the crust, briefly pulse together the flour and salt in a food processor. Add butter and lard and pulse until mixture forms pieces the size of lima beans, about 3 to 5 one-second pulses. Adding 2 to 5 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulse mixture until it is just moist enough to hold together. Shape into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 3/8-inch thick and press it into a 9-inch quiche or pie pan. Line with foil and fill with pie weights, rice or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the weights and foil and bake for 5 to 7 minutes more, until lightly golden.
  • Brush the crust with egg white, then sprinkle the cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Bake for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is just melted. Remove from the oven.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pan over medium heat, cook the bacon for 7 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned but not yet crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, sage, pepper, nutmeg and salt. Sprinkle the bacon over the quiche crust, then carefully pour in the egg mixture. Dot with the butter pieces and return to the oven. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the top is puffed and golden and the middle is almost set. Let it cool for 15 minutes before serving.

CARAMELISED ONION QUICHE WITH CHEDDAR & BACON



Caramelised onion quiche with cheddar & bacon image

Make quiche Lorraine to perfection every time with this easy recipe for a crisp pastry base and rich smoked bacon, cheese and thyme filling

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h25m

Yield Cuts into 6 - 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

25g butter
2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus a few sprigs
350g shop-bought shortcrust pastry
plain flour, for dusting
200g pack smoked bacon lardons
300g pot double cream
100ml milk
3 large eggs
2-3 pinches of nutmeg, plus extra for the top
140g mature cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large non-stick frying pan, add the onions and cook for 20 mins, stirring now and then, until they are soft and golden brown. Season, stir in the thyme leaves, then transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a large baking sheet inside. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line a 25cm loose-bottomed tart tin, with a little overhang of pastry all the way round the top. This will stop the pastry shrinking in the oven later. If there is more overhang than you need, trim off the excess with scissors. Gently press the pastry into the sides of the tin and prick the base with a fork. Chill for 15 mins.
  • Line the pastry case with a sheet of baking parchment and fill with ceramic baking beans. Bake for 15 mins on the hot baking sheet (this helps to prevent a soggy bottom). Carefully remove the parchment and beans, then return to the oven for 10 mins more until the pastry looks cooked like shortbread, but is not too brown.
  • Meanwhile, put the bacon in the pan you cooked the onions in (there's no need to wash it first or add any oil) and fry for 10 mins until golden. Lift from the pan onto kitchen paper to remove any excess fat. Beat the cream, milk and eggs with seasoning and nutmeg, then stir in the bacon and half the cheese.
  • Remove the pastry case from the oven and reduce heat to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Spoon the caramelised onions evenly over the base of the pastry case. Pour in the bacon mixture, then scatter with the remaining cheese, the thyme sprigs and a little nutmeg. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and the filling is just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
  • Trim the excess pastry and leave to settle for 10 mins, then remove from the tin and slice.
