HERB AND MUSHROOM QUICHE - FROM GET CRACKING!



Herb and Mushroom Quiche - from Get Cracking! image

This is one of my favourite quiche recipes. I received the recipe card and spice packet from the Egg Producers of Nova Scotia. I do change it slightly for our tastes, by using either a mild cheddar or marble in place of the swiss. I also go the 'crustless' route. If you add extra mushrooms and onions (like I often do), I suggest putting them, along with the cheeses in the pie plate first. Then pour the egg mixture on top. ;)

FRESH HERBS QUICHE



Fresh Herbs Quiche image

Perfect for brunch-or any meal, reallly-this easy recipe makes enough for one quiche baked in a nine-inch springform pan, or two quiches baked in eight- or nine-inch pie plates.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 6h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice water
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup packed small herb sprigs, such as chervil and dill, on top (if making 2 quiches, double amount)

Steps:

  • Crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together egg and yolk with ice water. Add to flour mixture and pulse until moist crumbs start to form (no longer). Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and, using wrap and your hands, form into a disk (or 2 disks, if making 2 quiches in pie plates). Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Let sit at room temperature until pliable, then roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch springform pan, folding and pressing sides to an even thickness. (Or roll out 2 disks to 11-inch rounds and fit into 8- or 9-inch pie plates.)
  • Trim edge of dough flush with top of springform pan. (If using pie plates, fold edges of dough under; crimp as desired.) Wrap in plastic; freeze at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake, with a baking sheet on rack below, 20 minutes; remove paper and beans. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes (8 to 10 minutes, for pie plates). Let cool.
  • Reduce oven to 375 degrees. Whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in remaining ingredients until well combined.
  • Pour custard mixture into cooled crust, stopping just short of top (if making in 2 pie plates, divide evenly between crusts). You may not need to use all of custard; be careful not to overfill.
  • Arrange herb sprigs on top. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then about 55 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool about 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs and mushrooms. This will give your quiche the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will also help to give your quiche a rich flavor.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is just set. You don't want to overcook it, or it will be dry.
  • Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Conclusion:

Herb and mushroom quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a quiche that is sure to impress your family and friends.
