CHEESY QUICHE

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the muffin pan
3 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
5 cups cornflakes, lightly crushed
1 1/2 cups grated white sharp Cheddar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 Vidalia onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 bunch collard greens, stemmed and finely chopped (about 3 cups)
1 cup half-and-half
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily spray a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat (see Cook's Note) into a large, heatproof bowl. To the bacon fat, add the crushed corn flakes and Cheddar. Stir the mixture together until it starts to clump. Press the mixture into the cups of the prepared muffin pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool slightly on a baking rack in the pan.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until softened and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle on the mustard, salt, paprika and pepper. Stir the collard greens into the onion mixture. Continue cooking the greens, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half and eggs, then stir in the greens. Pour some of the egg mixture into each crust in the pan to come about three-quarters of the way up and sprinkle on the bacon. Bake until the egg has set and doesn't jiggle, 15 to 20 minutes. Set the mini quiches on a baking rack for 10 minutes to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEESY SPINACH QUICHE



Cheesy Spinach Quiche image

This cheesy spinach quiche uses my favorite quiche recipe as the base. It's savory, creamy, and baked in a deliciously flaky homemade pie crust. Impress all your guests with this brunch recipe!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Breakfast

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 recipe homemade pie crust*
1 (10 oz) box frozen spinach*
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic (or roasted & chopped)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk*
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (I used cheddar + mozzarella)*
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin the quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking (next step). And here's a time-saving tip- as the crust blind bakes, you can get started on the filling which begins with step 7.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out one of the disks of chilled dough (freeze the other for another time). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is completely smooth. Chill the pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (And up to 5 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months. Cover the pie crust with plastic wrap if chilling for longer than 30 minutes or if you're freezing it. If you freeze it, let it thaw for a couple hours in the refrigerator before continuing.)
  • While the crust is chilling, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil. (Crunch up the parchment paper first so that you can easily shape it into the crust.) Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are starting to brown, about 15-16 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and carefully lift the parchment paper/aluminum foil (with the weights) out of the pie. Prick holes all around the bottom crust with a fork. Return the pie crust to the oven and bake until the bottom crust is just beginning to brown, about 7-8 minutes.
  • Remove crust from the oven. (You can partially pre-bake the crust up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover cooled crust tightly and refrigerate until ready to fill.)
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
  • If your frozen spinach is not already thawed, thaw it in the microwave per box directions. Drain the spinach in a colander while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Place sliced mushrooms in a skillet coated with 1 teaspoon olive oil or nonstick spray, add the garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to medium-high and sauté the mushrooms until they release all of their moisture and no more water remains on the bottom of the skillet, about 6-7 minutes.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, and parmesan cheese together until combined. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Blot and squeeze the rest of the water out of the thawed spinach. Spread spinach on warm pre-baked pie crust. Add the cooked mushrooms and shredded cheeses. Pour the egg mixture on top. If desired, sprinkle the top lightly with more parmesan cheese and/or salt and pepper.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is just about set, about 50-60 minutes. Don't over-bake. Use a pie crust shield to prevent the pie crust edges from over-browning. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Or you can cool the quiche completely before serving- it's fantastic at room temperature!
  • This quiche makes great leftovers! Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
