2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
One 16-ounce package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed, excess water squeezed out
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup half-and-half

Roasted tomato, basil & Parmesan quiche image

A taste of summer, this quiche is full of Italian flavours and is perfect for dinner in the garden

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Afternoon tea, Lunch, Main course, Snack, Supper

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

300g cherry tomato
drizzle olive oil
50g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated
2 eggs
284ml pot double cream
handful basil leaves, shredded, plus a few small ones left whole for scattering
280g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
140g cold butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • In a small roasting tin, drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the tomatoes in a low shelf of the oven.
  • Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown.
  • When you remove the tart case from the oven, take out the tomatoes, too.
  • While the tart is cooking, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add the cream, then stir in the basil and season. When the case is ready, sprinkle half the cheese over the base, scatter over the tomatoes, pour over the cream mix, then finally scatter over the rest of the cheese. Bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove from the tin. Scatter over the remaining basil and serve in slices.

Provided by sandralazodelavega

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h8m

Yield 1 quiche, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 frozen pie crust (9 inches)
2 -3 plum tomatoes
1/2 white onion (small chop)
3 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Bake the frozen crust for 8 minutes at 400 degrees, I usually take care of the rest of the prep while the crust is baking.
  • Cut the tomato into slices, depending on how thick/thin you want to make them, you might need 2 or 3 tomatoes. The thickness of the tomatoes is up to you.
  • In a separate pan, melt the butter and brown the onions.
  • In a bowl, mix the eggs, flour and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix the basil, fresh or dried into this mix.
  • Assembly:This quiche is assembled in layers.The first layer is the cheese. Spread the cheese as evenly as possible on the pie crust.
  • The second layer is the onions, also try to spread these as evenly as possible.
  • The third layer is the tomatoes: lay the tomato slices down in circles (which get smaller as you get closer to the center of the pie).
  • Finally, pour the flour, cream and eggs mix over the tomatoes.
  • Bake the assembled quiche for 35-40 minutes in a 375 degree oven, or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
  • Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes before serving,.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before starting, make sure all your ingredients are measured, chopped, and ready to go. This will streamline the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: This quiche relies on the freshness of its ingredients for maximum flavor. Use ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and top-quality mozzarella cheese.
  • Don't Overmix the Crust: When making the crust, mix the ingredients just until they come together. Overmixing can result in a tough crust.
  • Blind Bake the Crust: Before filling the quiche, blind bake the crust to prevent a soggy bottom. This involves pre-baking the crust without the filling to ensure it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan is ideal for this quiche as it allows for easy removal once baked. If you don't have one, you can use a regular pie plate, but you'll need to carefully transfer the quiche to a serving dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Quiche: Keep an eye on the quiche while it's baking. It's done when the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

This mozzarella, tomato, and basil quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its flaky crust, flavorful filling, and colorful presentation, it's sure to be a hit. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield impressive results. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get baking!
