THE ONLY BASIC QUICHE RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED



The Only Basic Quiche Recipe You'll Ever Need image

Everyone needs a basic quiche recipe. This savory tart is the perfect make-ahead meal for brunches, lunches, and even dinner-but it's not always the healthiest option. So how do you slash the fat without compromising the flavor? Our basic quiche proves you can make a healthier-but just as indulgent-version. Make it, memorize the formula, then customize it with whatever ingredients you have on hand. Here's how we pulled it off: The Crust: The traditional quiche crust recipe-flour, butter, salt, and cold water-is a bit high in sat fat for our standards. For a healthier crust that captures the simplicity of the original recipe, Wholly Wholesome Organic Pie Dough (find it at Whole Foods) is, hands down, our top pick. No wonky ingredients, just flaky, buttery goodness. Try the whole-wheat version, which has over 2g of fiber per serving. For gluten-free crust, try making a quinoa pie crust or a sweet potato crust. The Custard: For your custard to set properly in the oven, use this easy ratio: 1 part dairy to 2 parts eggs. Classic custards use heavy cream, but 2% milk contains a fraction of the sat fat and is still plenty rich. Flavor your custard with salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and fresh herbs such as chives, oregano, parsley, or tarragon. The Filling: For a 9-inch quiche crust, you'll need about 1 ½ cups total of pre-cooked veggies, plus a little cheese. Meat is optional, but a small amount of bacon or ham gives a big flavor boost. For veggies, we love sliced mushrooms, broccoli or cauliflower florets, cubed sweet potatoes, diced bell peppers, or sliced cherry tomatoes. Choose a lower-fat cheese such as Parmesan cheese, goat cheese, feta cheese mozzarella, or Ricotta. Add fiber to our basic quiche by making a simple kale salad with this tangy vinaigrette.

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 6 (serving size: 1 wedge)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated or frozen pie dough (such as Wholly Wholesome Organic Pie Dough)
1 ⅓ to 1 ½ cups 2% milk
3 large eggs
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 ½ cups sliced cremini mushrooms
3 slices center-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Pre-bake the crust: Roll dough to fit slightly larger than a 9-inch fluted tart pan. Press dough into fluted edges of pan, trimming off excess pieces if needed. Poke several holes in the crust with a fork. Line crust with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place pan on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Remove weights and foil, and bake 5 more minutes. Cool completely on baking sheet on a wire rack (about 15 minutes). Reduce oven temperature to 375°.
  • Cook the mushrooms: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in oil, add mushrooms, and saute until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Prepare the custard: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, chives, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the quiche: Spoon the mushrooms, bacon, and cheese into the crust. Pour in egg mixture and carefully transfer to oven.
  • Bake until set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean), about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes. Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

EASY 1 - 2 - 3 QUICHE



Easy 1 - 2 - 3 Quiche image

This is an inexpensive basic quiche to which you can add different fillings. It's called 1 - 2 - 3 because the proportions are about one cup of filling, two cups of half and half and 3 large eggs. My easy pie crusts make this a snap to do for a quickie lunch/brunch/potluck. It's easily made into a dozen different quiches for parties. I make this recipe easy by having pie crusts in the freezer - I always make 5 or six crusts at a time, flatten into discs and double wrap them for the freezer (Recipe #300887). I pre- cook any fillings that need it, and mix the custard up in the morning. When the girls pop in it's easy to finish. Hope you try this!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 quiche, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pie crust, partially baked (Linda's Fantabulous Food Processor Pie Crust)
1 cup meat and vegetables, diced fine and cooked
2 cups half-and-half cream
3 eggs, large
1/4 teaspoon salt (more or less)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (more or less)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more or less)
1 -2 tablespoon herbs (of your choice.)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350* and position the rack to the lower third position or use a pizza stone in the lower third of the oven. Get it good and hot.
  • Partially bake your pie crust in a 9 inch pan (see Recipe #300887). Use lots of beans inside of foil to help hold the shape (I use the same old lentil beans and fill the foil to the top). Bake for about 10 minutes. I usually lay a piece of foil over the top so the edges don't burn.
  • Make the custard by beating the half and half, eggs and seasonings together.
  • Stir in your favorite fillings and pour into your partially baked pie shell or layer the fillings for a pretty presentation. (yeah, take the beans out first) and bake for 45 - 55 minutes or until a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Filling Suggestions:.
  • I always saute the veggies and herbs in butter and olive oil.
  • 1 tablespoon minced herbs,1/2 cup sauteed leeks, 6 slices of blanched, rinsed and diced bacon patted dry and fried and 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese and topped with plum tomato slices.
  • 1/2 cup finely diced baked ham sauteed with 1/2 cup finely sliced green onions and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese with 1 Tablespoon minced herbs.
  • 10 slices of roma tomatoes for the top and 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of dried Italian herbs.
  • You can add leftover veggies from last night's dinner such as steamed broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, whatever you have.
  • This recipe is easy to turn into a Mexican dish, Italian, Spanish, Portugese, whatever your mood dictates.
  • Add a salad and it makes a nice lunch.

QUICHE



Quiche image

One of my all time favorites! My mother got this recipe from her friend Betty, It's a make ahead recipe, to be frozen and used later. My mother used to make mass quantities and take them out whenever she needed for an easy meal or hors d'oeuvre. She also made it with the light cream instead of milk.

Provided by MORGIE

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
½ cup cooked ham, diced
3 eggs
1 cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground dry mustard
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped pimento peppers, garnish

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, toss 4 teaspoons flour with the grated cheese. Sprinkle mixture into the pie shell. On top of cheese, sprinkle 1/2 cup of diced ham.
  • In medium bowl, combine eggs, milk or cream, and then add salt and mustard powder. Beat until smooth and pour over cheese and ham.
  • Put piece of plastic wrap large enough to overlap sides over top of quiche, then a piece of foil, and seal well around the edges. (plastic keeps the foil from sticking to the food). Place prepared quiche in freezer.
  • When ready to prepare, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.) Remove foil and plastic wrap. Put foil around edge of crust to protect it.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Garnish with parsley and pimiento if desired

CLASSIC QUICHE



Classic Quiche image

This recipe, which is a perfect main dish for brunch, makes enough for one quiche baked in a nine-inch springform pan, or two quiches baked in eight- or nine-inch pie plates.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 6h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice water
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together egg and yolk with ice water. Add to flour mixture and pulse until moist crumbs start to form (no longer). Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and, using wrap and your hands, form into a disk (or 2 disks, if making 2 quiches in pie plates). Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Let sit at room temperature until pliable, then roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch springform pan, folding and pressing sides to an even thickness. (Or roll out 2 disks to 11-inch rounds and fit into 8- or 9-inch pie plates.)
  • Trim edge of dough flush with top of springform pan. (If using pie plates, fold edges of dough under; crimp as desired.) Wrap in plastic; freeze at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake, with a baking sheet on rack below, 20 minutes; remove paper and beans. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes (8 to 10 minutes, for pie plates). Let cool.
  • Reduce oven to 375 degrees. Whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in remaining ingredients until well combined.
  • Pour custard mixture into cooled crust, stopping just short of top (if making in 2 pie plates, divide evenly between crusts). You may not need to use all of custard; be careful not to overfill.
  • Add any toppings. Bake 10 minutes; reduce oven to 325 degrees. Bake until filling is just set. Let cool about 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pan: Use a 9-inch pie plate or a quiche pan with fluted sides.
  • Make Sure the Crust is Cooked: Before adding the filling, blind bake the crust for 10-12 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your quiche the best flavor.
  • Don't Overbeat the Eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make the quiche tough.
  • Bake the Quiche Until Set: The quiche is done when the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the Quiche Cool Before Serving: This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it is also a great option for potlucks and picnics. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a quiche that is both delicious and impressive. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give quiche a try!
