Categories     Breakfast

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
3 tablespoons ice water
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for blanching
1 asparagu, woody ends trimmed
2 large egg yolks
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups heavy cream
4 oz goat cheese, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch McCormick® Ground Nutmeg
3 tablespoons fresh chives, divided, thinly sliced
pie weight, or dried beans
glass pie plate, 8 in (20 cm)

Steps:

  • Add the flour and salt to a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse 6-8 times until broken down into pea-sized pieces. Add the water and pulse 8-10 times, until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and shape into a disc. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a circle about ⅛-inch thick. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and gently transfer to an 8-inch pie dish. Press the dough flush against the dish. Trim any excess dough around the edges. Fold the edges of dough back underneath itself, then crimp using an index finger knuckle on one hand and the thumb and index finger on the other hand.
  • Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is beginning to brown around the edges. Remove the crust from the oven and carefully lift out the parchment paper and baking beans.
  • Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, until the bottom is beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and set on a rack to cool while you make the filling.
  • Fill a large, high-walled skillet with water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, season the water generously with salt. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set nearby.
  • Blanch the asparagus in the simmering water for 30-60 seconds, until bright green and tender. Transfer to the ice bath to cool for 1-2 minutes, then drain and let dry on a paper towel or kitchen towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Reserve 8-10 spears of asparagus. Cut the rest into 1-inch pieces.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, eggs, heavy cream, black pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Add the asparagus pieces and 2 tablespoons of chives and whisk to incorporate.
  • Spread 3 ounces of the goat cheese across the bottom.
  • Pour the filling into the crust. Arrange the reserved asparagus spears on top. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of chives and dot with the remaining ounce of goat cheese.
  • Bake the quiche for 28-35 minutes, until the center is set, but still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
  • Transfer the quiche to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
1 1/2 cup whole milk
1 bunch asparagus
1 tablespoon tarragon (dried)
6 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Rinse asparagus, then trim the tough ends off the stalks. Set aside 8-10 of the asparagus to leave whole, then chop the remaining asparagus into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Peel the garlic, then slice into thin rounds.
  • In a saucepan, heat 1/2 tbs oil and 1/2 tbs butter over medium low heat. Add garlic and saute until just browned.
  • Remove garlic from pan and set aside. Add remaining 1/2 tbs of butter and 1/2 tbs oil to pan and saute asparagus (cut and whole pieces) until just al dente. Do not overcook.

Arrange the full spears of asparagus artfully on top of the quiche in a spoke pattern, woven grid, or whatever pleases you.

CABBAGE AND SPRING ONION QUICHE WITH CARAWAY



Cabbage and Spring Onion Quiche With Caraway image

Spring onions found their way into several of this week's quiches. For this one, I cooked the onions with cabbage - even a half a head of cabbage that has been lingering in your refrigerator will work here - until both vegetables were soft, lightly colored and sweet. I added caraway seeds to the mix because I love the flavor of caraway with cabbage. I used 1/2 teaspoon, just enough so that people noticed; they couldn't recognize what it was ("Cumin?" they asked) right away, but they liked it. I made the filling a day ahead and let it sit uncovered overnight in the refrigerator.

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 6 generously

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped spring onion
1/2 medium cabbage (1 pound), cored and shredded (about 5 cups shredded cabbage)
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1 (9-inch) whole wheat pâte brisée pie crust fully baked and cooled
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup milk
3 ounces Gruyère, grated, or 1 ounce Parmesan and 2 ounces Gruyère, grated (3/4 cup grated cheese)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onions. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes, until beginning to color. Add cabbage and cook, stirring often, until cabbage wilts, about 5 minutes. Add another pinch of salt and caraway seeds and continue to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until cabbage is sweet, cooked down, lightly colored and very tender. Taste, adjust salt, and add freshly ground pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in the oven for 5 minutes. (The egg seals the crust so that it won't become soggy when it comes into contact with the custard.)
  • Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to remaining eggs and whisk together.
  • Spread cabbage and onion in an even layer in the crust. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top. Very slowly pour in the egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the quiche, and you want to keep the custard from spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your quiche a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include spinach, kale, broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your quiche. Some good options include cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. This will make the quiche tough. Just whisk them until they are well combined.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set in the center. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour.

Conclusion:

Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little bit of planning, you can make a quiche that everyone will love.
