Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
5 teaspoons cold water

Steps:

Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the chopped butter; rub butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Stir in the grated cheese. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow the dough form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll out dough, and place in a 9 inch pie/quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of the pastry.
Bake crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes before filling with quiche custard of your choice.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 cups Idahoan® Steakhouse Cheesy Hashbrowns, rehydrated
¼ cup zucchini, shredded
¼ cup sweet potato, shredded
¼ cup carrot, shredded
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups whip cream, un-whipped (or half and half for a lighter quiche)
8 ounces artichokes hearts, coarse chop
½ cup leeks, chopped and sauteed to soften
¾ cup cooked ham, small dice
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
⅛ teaspoon cayenne red pepper
1 teaspoon dried sage
¾ teaspoon salt
Crunchy onion packet for garnish

Steps:

For the crust: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Mix veggies and hash browns together. Gently press between paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. In a large nine inch pie plate, toss the veggie mixture with the melted butter. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of the cheese packet from the box of Steakhouse Hash Browns over hash brown mixture and blend. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press mixture into the bottom and up the sides to firmly form a crust. Place rack on the lower third of the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the edges begin to crisp. While crust bakes, make the filling.
For the filling: Blend the eggs and cream until smooth. Stir in the artichokes, leeks, ham, cheese and seasonings.
When the hash brown crust is ready, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and pour the filling into the crust. Bake for 30 minutes then sprinkle the crunchy onion topping on the quiche. Continue to bake for another 15 minutes or until the quiche is light golden brown and firm in the middle. Quiche will settle as it cools.

Tips:

For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Then, chill the dough before rolling it out.
To prevent a soggy crust, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Don't overfill the quiche, or it will be difficult to slice and serve.
Bake the quiche until the center is set and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Cheesy quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect quiche every time.
