LEEK AND BACON QUICHE



Leek and Bacon Quiche image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2inch cubes
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons iced water
1/2 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/2inch cubes
2 leeks, white and light green parts, chopped (about 2 cups)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 pound Gruyere cheese, grated (about 1 1/3 cups)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour with butter, egg, salt and 1 tablespoon of the water. Mix lightly with your fingertips until pastry forms peasized pieces. You should be able to see chunks of fat, and the pastry should be moist enough to begin to stick together. If the pastry is too dry, add up to 2 more tablespoons of water.
  • Turn the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface, dust with flour, and knead it until the pastry is smooth, about 3 to 4 times. Transfer to a plastic bag and form pastry into a disk. Refrigerate a minimum of 30 minutes, or as long as 3 days.
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over low heat until tender, not crisp. Add leeks, salt and pepper, and saute until leeks are soft and bacon is crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain off excess fat, if any. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange the rack in the middle of the oven. On a generously floured surface, roll pastry from center out, lifting pastry, turning it slightly, and occasionally flipping to prevent sticking. Roll pastry to 1/8inch thickness. Lightly butter and flour a 9inch pie pan and line with pastry, leaving about 1/4inch overhang for shrinkage. Pinch up excess pastry to form a rim and flute the edges. Prick the bottom all over with a fork.
  • Line pastry with a sheet of parchment or aluminum foil larger than the pan, and fill with pie weights, rice, or beans. Bake about 20 minutes, until the edges begin to color. Remove the paper and weights, and spread the mustard over the bottom of the pastry. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with the milk. Stir in bacon and cheese mixture. Pour the custard into the pie shell to within 1/4inch of the top of the crust. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until custard puffs. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or room temperature.

  • Combine the eggs with the cream and milk and season well then add all the other
  • ingredients together.sprinkle the thyme over the top.Bake to 30/40 minutes or until set.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to set.Trim the pastry edges to get the perfect edge.
  • Making the pastry
  • Begin by sifting the flour and pinch of salt into a large bowl, Now add the lard and butter, cut into smallish lumps, then take a knife and begin to cut the fat into the flour. Go on doing this until it looks fairly evenly blended, then begin to rub the fat into the flour using your fingertips only and being as light as possible. As you gently rub the fat into the flour.Now sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water in, then, with a knife, start bringing the dough together, using the knife to make it cling. Then discard the knife and, finally, bring it together with your fingertips. When enough liquid is added, the pastry should leave the bowl fairly clean. If this hasn\'t happened, then add a spot more water. Now place the pastry in a polythene bag and leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 190 C / 375 F / gas mark 5.
  • Remove the Pastry case from the fridge and line the base of the pastry with baking parchment and then fill in with baking beans.Place on a baking tray and bake blind for 20 minutes.Remove the beans and parchment and return to the oven to cook for another 5 minutes to cook the base.

Tips:

  • To ensure a crispy quiche crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10-12 minutes before filling it.
  • Use fresh asparagus, mushrooms, and leeks for the best flavor. If using frozen vegetables, thaw and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly throughout the quiche.
  • Use whole milk or heavy cream for a richer quiche. You can also use a combination of milk and cream.
  • Season the quiche generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
  • Bake the quiche until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and make it easier to slice.

This asparagus, mushroom, and leek 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 its flaky crust, creamy filling, and fresh vegetables, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
