SPINACH AND SMOKED GOUDA CRUSTLESS QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan with the soft butter and sprinkle half the Parmesan on top. Place the pan on a baking sheet.
• Squeeze the spinach in batches, very firmly by hand, to remove excess water. Put spinach in a food processor, along with the eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, Gouda, flour, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulsing until mixture is an even green color with bits of spinach, about 30 seconds. Add the scallions and pulse briefly to mix. Pour mixture into the prepared pan.

SMOKED GOUDA

Steps:

• Start 5 briquettes of charcoal on one side of a large barbecue and wait until they are white hot.
• Meanwhile, soak one handful apple wood chips in water.
• Fill an aluminum roasting pan with ice, and put on the other side of the grill.
• Put a piece of tinfoil over the ice, and lay the cheese on top of that so the cheese is slightly below the level of ice, making a boat with the tinfoil so that water cannot come inside.
• Drain the water from the wood chips.
• Add half of the wood chips, and put the lid on. Smoke for ten minutes, and then flip the cheese over and smoke for another ten minutes, adding more wood chips if necessary. Remove, and refrigerate immediately.
• Notes:.
• Though I have found apple wood to be the best for cheese, you can use other wood, but it should be a light smoking wood such as pecan, or maybe maple. Mesquite, and Hickory are definitely not recommended as the smoke is too intense for cheese.
