QUICHE RECIPE



Quiche Recipe image

This is a perfect base quiche recipe and it's all baked in a super flaky homemade pie crust. Use a combination of milk and heavy cream for the richest, creamiest filling and add your favorites such as bacon, feta cheese, ham, white cheddar cheese, crab meat or spinach.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 unbaked Flaky Pie Crust (what I used) or All Butter Pie Crust*
4 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk*
1/2 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream*
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper*
1 cup shredded or crumbled cheese such as feta, cheddar, goat cheese, or gruyere
up to 2 cups add-ins (see recipe note)
optional toppings for serving: extra cheese, chopped herbs, hollandaise sauce, & freshly ground pepper to taste

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).
  • On a floured work surface, roll out one of the disks of chilled dough (use the 2nd pie crust for another recipe). 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. To make a lovely edge, I do not trim excess dough around the edges. Instead, fold the excess dough back over the edge and use your hands to mold the edge into a rim around the pie. Crimp the edges with a fork or use your fingers to flute the edges. Chill the pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 5 days. Cover the pie crust with plastic wrap if chilling for longer than 30 minutes.
  • While the crust is chilling, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Make sure the weights are evenly distributed around the pie dish. 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 (with the weights) out of the pie. Prick holes all around the bottom crust with a fork. Return the pie crust to the oven. Bake until the bottom crust is just beginning to brown, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Crust can still be warm when you pour in the filling. 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).
  • In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together on high speed until completely combined, about 1 minute. Whisk in add-ins and then pour into crust.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is just about set, about 45-55 minutes. Don't over-bake. Use a pie crust shield to prevent the pie crust edges from over-browning. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Top with optional toppings before slicing and serving, if desired. 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.

EASY BRIE AND SPINACH QUICHE RECIPE



Easy Brie and Spinach Quiche Recipe image

This brie and spinach quiche recipe is so delicious and very easy to make. It features a press-in pie crust that is the perfect flaky complement to the creamy brie.

Provided by Suchot Sunday

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
6 eggs (I use free-range)
1 cup milk
2 handfuls fresh baby spinach (~1 cup packed)
2 oz brie (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1/2 tsp sea salt
pepper (a few grinds)

Steps:

  • Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl using a fork. Pour in the olive oil and water and mix everything together. Press into a 9" pie plate on the bottom and up the sides. Put aside and make the filling.
  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and use a whisk or a fork to beat them. Add the salt, pepper, and milk and mix together. Toss in the baby spinach and the brie (at this point I usually sneak some brie) and stir.
  • Pour the filling into the crust. It will be pretty full. If you're steady, good for you but I'm not always, so I put a cookie sheet under the pie plate to catch any spills or overflows.
  • Bake on the lowest rack of the oven. This helps the crust on the bottom cook since we're not pre-baking it. Bake for ~30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the crust looks golden.

BRIE AND BROCCOLI QUICHE



Brie and Broccoli Quiche image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 yellow onions, sliced
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought, recipe follows
All-purpose flour, for rolling
8 ounces Brie
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter
1 large egg
5 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Fry the onions in the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes (maybe longer). Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli in the boiling water for 1 minute, then remove it to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Remove it from the water to drain.
  • Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and press into a deep fluted tart pan with a removable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Lay the onions over the base of the crust, then lay the brocolli pieces on top of the onions. Chop the Brie and lay that in the crust too.
  • Whip the half-and-half, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl, then pour it into the crust. Sprinkle the chives on top.
  • Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. (The quiche will still seem slightly loose, but will continue to set once removed from the oven.) Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then, if using a tart pan, remove the quiche from the pan. Cut into slices with a sharp serrated knife and serve.
  • Put the flour in a large bowl. With a pastry cutter, gradually work the shortening and butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork and pour it into the flour mixture. Add the cold water, white vinegar and salt. Stir gently to combine.
  • Form the dough into 2 evenly sized balls and place each ball into a gallon food storage bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using them immediately, it's still a good idea to put them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes.

ONION QUICHE



Onion Quiche image

Tender, sweet bits of onion suffuse this classic, savory tart, which gets its brawny, salty tang from browned chunks of cured pork (lardons, pancetta or bacon), all bound with a nutmeg-flecked custard. It's a dish that feels both delicate and rich, and makes a lovely lunch or brunch dish. You can make the dough up to 3 days ahead, and prebake the crust a day ahead. But the quiche is best served warm or at room temperature on the day you assembled and baked it. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, lunch, pies and tarts, main course

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), cold, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
Scant 1/2 cup ice water, or as needed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds onions (about 6 to 8 large), finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ounces lardons, diced pancetta or bacon (about 1/2 cup)
2 large eggs
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 ounces Gruyère, shredded (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Make the tart dough: In a food processor, pulse flour, salt and sugar to combine. Add butter, then pulse until lima-bean-size pieces form. Gradually drizzle water into mixture and pulse just to combine, adding more water by the tablespoon if dough doesn't come together. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Press it together into a ball, flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. (If you don't have a food processor, see Tip below.)
  • While dough chills, cook the onions for the filling: In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter and oil. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden and liquid has been cooked off, about 1 hour. (If the onions start to get too dark, reduce the heat to low.) Stir in flour and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Butter a 9-inch tart pan. Take chilled dough out of plastic wrap and place on a floured surface. Roll dough into an 11-inch circle, drape over it over tart pan and press into bottom edges and down sides. Use a knife or rolling pin to cut off excess dough, then use your fingers to push dough 1/4-inch up past the edge of pan. Use a fork to poke evenly spaced holes in the bottom and sides of the dough and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place chilled tart on a baking sheet. Line with foil, fill with pie weights and bake for 15 minutes. Remove tart from oven and carefully remove foil and pie weights. Return tart to oven to continue baking, uncovered, until dough is just baked through and barely turning golden on the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare lardons: Heat a medium, dry skillet over medium heat, then add lardons and cook until they start to brown, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine eggs, cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Fold in onions, then half the Gruyère. Cube remaining 1 tablespoon butter into pea-size pieces.
  • Scatter cooked lardons over parbaked tart shell. Scrape egg and onion mixture into shell, smoothing top, and then scatter remaining Gruyère on top. Dot with butter pieces, then bake in a 375-degree oven until puffed and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove tart ring from pan and slide quiche onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
