BACON AND SWISS QUICHE



Bacon and Swiss Quiche image

Bring the fabulous flavors of France to your dinner table with this delightful quiche baked with crumbled bacon and Swiss cheese.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 oz)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
4 eggs
2 cups whipping (heavy) cream or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
Additional crisply cooked crumbled bacon, if desired

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Heat oven to 425°F. Roll pastry on lightly floured surface, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch quiche dish or glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in quiche dish or pie plate. Unfold and ease into dish, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
  • Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion in pastry-lined quiche dish. In large bowl, beat eggs slightly with fork or wire whisk. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour into quiche dish.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Bake about 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with additional bacon. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

SALMON AND SWISS CHARD QUICHE



Salmon and Swiss Chard Quiche image

This is a crustless quiche that looks and tastes great. Red Swiss chard makes the quiche very attractive. It would also be good with half the salmon and twice the chard for a different flavor emphasis. The quiche can also be baked in your favorite crust if you prefer. Just bake a little longer

Provided by SnagleB

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Quiche

Time 1h20m

8 ounces salmon fillets, skin removed
⅓ cup chopped onion
½ bunch Swiss chard, chopped

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: Gruyère is the traditional cheese for Swiss quiche, but you can also use Emmental or a combination of the two. For a richer flavor, use a sharp or aged cheese.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs can make the quiche rubbery. Whisk the eggs just until they are combined.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: A homemade pie crust is always best, but you can also use a store-bought crust. If you are using a store-bought crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: The quiche will rise as it bakes, so don't fill the pie crust more than two-thirds full.
  • Bake the quiche in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the quiche cooks evenly.
  • Let the quiche cool before serving: This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Swiss quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cheese and vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can make a Swiss quiche that your family and friends will love.
