Provided by Christin Mahrlig

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package refrigerated piecrusts
2 large sweet onions, (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon bacon grease, (optional)
6 cooked bacon slices, (crumbled)
1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Unroll pie crusts and stack on a lightly greased surface. Roll into at least a 12-inch circle, depending upon the size of your pan. Mold pie crust into a deep dish pie pan or 10-inch deep dish tart pan with removable bottom. Trim off excess pie crust along edges. Place a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper on pie crust and place pie weights or dried beans on top. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove weights and foil and bake an additional 8 minutes. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  • While piecrust is baking, cook onions in olive oil, butter, and bacon grease in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir often and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until caramel colored. Remove from heat and add bacon crumbles to pan with onions.
  • Place half of onion-bacon mixture in piecrust and top with half of cheese. Repeat with remaining onions and cheese.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over cheese.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees, or until set. Cool 15 minutes before serving.

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onions. This will help them caramelize evenly.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat. This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. This will prevent them from caramelizing properly.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the onions while they are cooking. This will help to draw out their moisture and speed up the caramelization process.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly before adding them to the quiche filling.
  • Use a preheated oven when baking the quiche. This will help to ensure that the quiche cooks evenly.
  • Bake the quiche until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the quiche to set properly.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onion and bacon mini quiches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great option for potlucks and parties. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect caramelized onion and bacon mini quiches every time.
