Categories     side-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 9-inch frozen uncooked pie crust, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
2 medium zucchini, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise, cut into thirds and then 1/4-inch pieces
2 large shallots, chopped (1/2 to 2/3 cup)
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup (4 ounces) coarsely grated fontina cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Unroll the crust on a lightly floured work surface. Using floured fingertips, seal any tears in the dough. Sprinkle the dough very lightly with flour. Using the bottom paper to lift, turn the dough over into 9-inch-diameter ceramic or glass pie dish. Peel off the remaining sheet of paper. Trim the dough overhang to 3/4 inch. Fold the overhang under and form a smooth top edge. Crimp the edge decoratively. Pierce the bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork. Chill the crust at least 10 minutes.
  • Bake the crust until deep golden around the top edge and light golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta cook until brown and crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain and cool, reserving the pancetta drippings in the skillet.
  • Add the zucchini, shallots and garlic to the skillet. Saute over medium heat until the zucchini is just barely tender, tossing occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool the zucchini slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and cream. Add the cheese, basil, cooled pancetta, mustard, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cooled zucchini mixture. Whisk to blend. Pour the custard into the cooled pie crust.
  • Bake the quiche until the sides are slightly puffed and brown and the center is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack 20 to 30 minutes, and then serve warm or let cool completely and serve at room temperature.

Zucchini and Bacon Bake image

This is from my neighbour and good friend, Ronnie, who is mother to five great kids. They all love this concoction and so do we. It serves 6-7 unless it is put in front of our former French exchange student, Emma. In that case, it serves one.

BACON AND ZUCCHINI QUICHE



Bacon and Zucchini Quiche image

This delicious brunch-worthy bacon and zucchini quiche recipe serves up creamy cheese and a flaky crust courtesy of Elisabeth Prueitt.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes one 10-inch quiche

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 recipe Flaky Tart Dough
10 large eggs
2 cups creme fraiche
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
5 slices center-cut bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
1 medium or 2 small zucchini, peeled lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick ribbons
1/2 cup gruyere

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough into a 16-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off any excess flour; fit dough into a 2-inch deep-dish tart pan with a removable bottom, gently pressing it into the sides. Using a sharp knife, trim the dough evenly with the edge of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap; chill tart shell until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Line the tart dough with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Transfer to oven and bake until light brown, about 25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment paper and continue baking until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together 1 egg and flour on high speed until smooth. Add the remaining 9 eggs and continue mixing until well blended.
  • Place creme fraiche in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth; add milk and continue whisking until well combined. Add to mixer along with salt, pepper, and thyme; mix until well combined. Strain mixture into a large bowl through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Place bacon, zucchini ribbons, and cheese in prepared tart shell. Pour over egg mixture until tart shell is full (you may not need to use all of the egg mixture). Bake 20 minutes; reduce temperature to 325 degrees, and continue baking until filling is slightly firm, rather than liquid, and crust is a deep golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes more. Transfer quiche to a wire rack to cool until set, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. To reheat, cover quiche with aluminum foil and bake in an oven heated to 325 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Zucchini: Select young and tender zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Look for zucchini that are no more than 6-8 inches long and have a deep green color.
  • Preparing the Crust: Use a pre-made pie crust to save time, or make your own using your favorite recipe. If using a pre-made crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package instructions.
  • Cooking the Bacon: Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not overcooked. This will help to add flavor and texture to the pie.
  • Draining the Zucchini: After grating the zucchini, be sure to drain off any excess moisture. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming too watery.
  • Seasoning the Filling: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to taste. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  • Chilling the Pie: After baking, allow the pie to cool completely before chilling it in the refrigerator. This will help the flavors to meld and set.

Conclusion:

Zucchini pie with bacon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is a great option for cooks of all skill levels. Whether you're looking for a savory main course or a satisfying side dish, this zucchini pie is sure to please.
