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.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling
6 bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped shallots
8 ounces arugula, stems trimmed, leaves coarsely chopped (about 5 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup whipping cream
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in enough ice water to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill until dough is firm enough to roll out, about 30 minutes. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim dough overhang to 1 inch. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick high-standing sides. Pierce crust all over with fork. Freeze crust 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep frozen.)
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Bake crust until golden brown, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 20 minutes. Transfer crust to rack. Reduce temperature to 375°F.
  • For filling:
  • Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and drain. Add shallots to same skillet and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add arugula and sauté until just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add balsamic vinegar; toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle arugula mixture, then bacon over crust. Whisk cream, eggs, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Stir in cheese. Pour mixture into crust.
  • Bake quiche until filling is slightly puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut into wedges.

Tips:

  • For a crispier quiche crust, try pre-baking it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of fat.
  • If you don't have time to cook the bacon in advance, you can use pre-cooked bacon. Just be sure to chop it into small pieces before adding it to the quiche filling.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your quiche. Some good options include spinach, kale, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Don't overfill the quiche crust. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake the quiche in a preheated oven until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Bacon and vegetable 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 bacon and vegetables. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a bacon and vegetable quiche recipe that everyone will enjoy.
