Best 3 Pancetta Parmesan And Pepper Quiches Recipes

PANCETTA AND PARMESAN TORTE

Steps:

• Position the rack on the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Press the crust into a 9-inch-diameter tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the edges; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to paper towels and drain. Beat the cream, milk, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese and pancetta. Pour the cream mixture into the crust.
• Bake the torte until the filling puffs and is golden brown on top, about 25 minutes. Let the torte cool for 15 minutes. Cut the torte into 12 thin wedges and serve.

PANCETTA, PARMESAN, AND PEPPER QUICHES

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add in pancetta and cook/stir until most of the fat has rendered and the pieces are browned, 6-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your slices.
• Transfer with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat; add in the red bell pepper and a pinch of salt; cook/stir occasionally, until fragrant, soft, and browned around the edges, 8-10 minutes.
• Add in the jalapeno and continue cooking until all the peppers are completely tender, for another 2 minutes; let cool slightly.
• In another bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together, then stir in the cooked peppers, parmesan, cheddar, and cooked pancetta.
• Season with ½ teaspoon salt and cayenne.
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Lightly grease the insides of two or three mini muffin pans.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll one sheet of pastry into a 10 x 18 inch rectangle.
• With a 3 inch pastry cutter, stamp out 18 rounds.
• Press the rounds into the muffin cups and fill each one completely with about 1 tablespoon filling.
• Repeat with second sheet of pastry and the remaining filling.
• Bake until the filling if puffed and golden and the crust is a rich golden brown, about 17-20 minutes.
• Let the quiches cool a few minutes for the best flavor; they should lift out of the muffin tin easily.
• OAMC-can freeze the unbaked quiches in the muffin tin until completely firm.
• Pop them out of the pan and put them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
• Freeze for up to 1 month; to cook, put the frozen quiches back into the muffin tin and bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes.

• Brush pie shells with beaten egg white. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped asparagus into pie shells.
• In a bowl, beat together eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over bacon and asparagus. Pour egg mixture on top of cheese.
