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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 6h

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
3 thinly sliced scallions (if making 2 quiches, double amounts)
4 slices crumbled cooked bacon (if making 2 quiches, double amounts)

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.
  • Top with scallions and bacon. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then about 1 hour at 325 degrees. Let cool about 1 hour before serving.

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 40m

Yield 2 quiches, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 unbaked pie shells
6 slices bacon
1 1/4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 bunch scallion (6-10 stalks)
4 eggs
1 pint heavy cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a skillet, saute the bacon until cooked through. Remove from heat and dab with a paper towel to remove excess grease. Chop into bacon bits and add to a medium bowl.
  • Slice scallions width-wise and add to bacon. Add your shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine and evenly distribute between the two pie shells.
  • To the same bowl, add your eggs and cream, salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Pour custard evenly over the filling in tart shells and bake for 30 minutes or until shells are golden-brown and custard is set.

Tips:

  • For a crispier quiche, pre-bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use high-quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will provide more flavor and texture to the quiche.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the quiche will be less rich and creamy.
  • Freshly grated cheese will melt more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. It should be set in the center, but still slightly wobbly.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Conclusion:

This bacon and scallion quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. With its crispy crust, creamy filling, and savory bacon and scallion flavor, this quiche is sure to please everyone at the table.
