BACON AND SWISS QUICHE



Bacon and Swiss Quiche image

Bring the fabulous flavors of France to your dinner table with this delightful quiche baked with crumbled bacon and Swiss cheese.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 oz)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
4 eggs
2 cups whipping (heavy) cream or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
Additional crisply cooked crumbled bacon, if desired

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Heat oven to 425°F. Roll pastry on lightly floured surface, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch quiche dish or glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in quiche dish or pie plate. Unfold and ease into dish, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
  • Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion in pastry-lined quiche dish. In large bowl, beat eggs slightly with fork or wire whisk. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour into quiche dish.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Bake about 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with additional bacon. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

CHEDDAR-CRUSTED & BACON BROCCOLI QUICHE RECIPE BY TASTY



Cheddar-Crusted & Bacon Broccoli Quiche Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: shredded cheddar cheese, unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, ice water, bacon, small broccoli floret, large eggs, milk, pepper, pie weight

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
5 tablespoons ice water
4 strips bacon
2 cups small broccoli floret
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon pepper
pie weight, coffee beans, or dried beans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Add 2 cups (200 g) of cheddar cheese and the butter to a large bowl. Mix to combine with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
  • Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons salt and mix well. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and mix. Add the remaining ice water 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should hold together when pinched, but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a bit more ice water.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead with your hands until it comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a circle about ⅛ inch (8 mm) thick. Carefully transfer the crust to a 9½-inch (24-cm) glass pie dish.
  • Trim the edges (save the trimmings to make crackers!). Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork, then use the tines to crimp the edges. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the fillings. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Using tongs, remove the bacon from the skillet and let drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle.
  • Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Chop the bacon.
  • Remove the pie weights from the crust, then add the broccoli and chopped bacon to the center. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Cover the edges with tinfoil if they are starting to burn.
  • Let the quiche cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

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.

CHEDDAR BACON BROCCOLI QUICHE



Cheddar Bacon Broccoli Quiche image

My favorite cheddar bacon broccoli quiche recipes. Easy to make when you use a pre-made crust. Omit the bacon to turn this into a vegetarian quiche. Use Swiss or Emmenthal cheese for a milder, but still tangy flavor.

Time 55m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (9 inch) pie crusts, for single 9-inch one-crust pie
1/2 lb bacon, fried crisp and crumbled (about 12 slices)
1/2 cup broccoli (fresh or frozen, finely chopped)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated (I like Sharp)
1/3 cup onion, minced
4 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°.
  • Prepare pastry for one-crust pie (if using mix or homemade crust recipe) and bake as directed in 9" pie plate or quiche pan.
  • Layer bacon, onion, broccoli and cheese evenly over bottom of pie crust.
  • Mix together remaining ingredients.
  • Beat well to really mix the eggs using a whisk or blend in the blender at low speed.
  • Pour over other ingredients in pie crust shell.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to 300°.
  • Bake quiche 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Let pie stand for 10 minutes to cool before cutting.

Tips:

  • For a crispy quiche crust, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon is ideal.
  • Don't overcrowd the quiche with fillings. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
