Ham-and-Swiss Quiche image

A tender pie crust plus a savory filling add up to a delicious and classic ham-and-cheese quiche for brunch. The key to this gluten-free recipe is the easy-to-work-with dough. Since there's no gluten, which leads to toughness if the dough is overworked, you can mix and roll without worry.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Coarse salt and pepper
Gluten-free all-purpose flour, for rolling
1 recipe Gluten-Free Pie Dough
5 large eggs plus 2 large egg whites
1/3 cup whole milk
4 ounces ham steak, cut into small cubes (1 cup)
1/2 cup shredded Swiss (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together onion, oil, and thyme and spread in a single layer; season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. (If dough breaks or cracks, patch holes with extra dough.) Line with parchment and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Place onion on top rack and dough on bottom rack; bake until onion is soft and crust is dry at edge and light golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove parchment and beans.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and egg whites, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in onion, ham, and Swiss. Pour mixture into crust and bake on top rack until center is just set, about 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

1 1/4 cups Betty Crocker™ All-Purpose Gluten Free Rice Flour Blend
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut in small pieces
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
5 to 6 tablespoons cold water
4 eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 cup frozen (thawed) chopped broccoli
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
3/4 cup cut-up gluten-free fully cooked ham
1/2 cup finely chopped onion

Steps:

  • In food processor, place flour blend, xanthan gum and salt. Cover; process until combined. Add butter; pulse 3 to 5 times or until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • In 1-cup measuring cup, beat 1 egg yolk, cider vinegar and 3 tablespoons cold water with fork. With food processor running, quickly pour egg mixture through feed tube, and process a few seconds until dough begins to come together. (Add additional water if necessary.) Remove dough; shape into flattened disk.
  • Heat oven to 450°F. On 12-inch square of cooking parchment paper lightly sprinkled with flour blend, roll dough into 11-inch circle. Carefully center ungreased 9-inch pie plate over circle. Turn crust and pie plate over to place crust into pie plate. Remove paper. Ease crust into pan, repairing any tears with wet fingers. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired. Do not prick. Line crust with double thickness of foil. Bake 8 minutes; remove foil. Bake 4 to 5 minutes longer or until pastry is set and dry. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
  • For Filling, in medium bowl, beat eggs lightly with whisk or hand beater. Beat in half-and-half, salt and red pepper. Sprinkle broccoli, cheese, ham and onion in partially-baked crust. Pour egg mixture evenly over broccoli mixture. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent overbrowning. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your quiche bites. Use a good quality ham, cheese, and eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the quiche bites tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the quiche bites until they are set: The quiche bites should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the quiche bites cool before serving: This will help them to hold their shape and make them easier to eat.
  • Serve the quiche bites with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and chives.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free ham and cheese quiche bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick lunch.
