Broccoli and Red Onion Quiche image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Store-bought or Homemade Pie Dough, recipe follows
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped roasted or steamed broccoli
1/4 to 1/2 cup sauteed sliced red onions
3/4 to 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, half-and-half or milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon paprika or chile powder, or some grated lemon zest (optional)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, diced and chilled
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie dough and crimp as desired; chill 30 minutes. Line with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the crust is set, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until lightly golden, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool while you prepare the filling.
  • Put the broccoli and red onions in a large bowl. Add the pepper jack and toss to combine.
  • Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the chives. Add the and paprika, chile powder or lemon zest, if desired. Spread the vegetable-cheese mixture in the crust, then pour the egg mixture on top. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until the filling is set, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Pulse the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add about one-third of the butter; process until the butter is combined. Pulse in the remaining butter in 5 or 6 pulses to form coarse crumbs. Add the vinegar; pulse quickly a few times while adding 1/3 cup ice water. Squeeze some dough between your fingers. It should just hold its shape; if it's still crumbly, quickly pulse in more ice water by the tablespoonful. (Do not overwork the dough.)
  • Turn the dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap the dough, then press and flatten into a thin round. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough into an 11-to-12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick, on a lightly floured surface. Center over a 9-inch pie plate. Fold in the edges and crimp as desired. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before using.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Brunch     Breakfast     Broccoli     Vegetarian     Egg     Cheddar     Feta     Cheese     Chard     Milk/Cream     Quiche

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

Crust:
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
11 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Filling and assembly:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 small head of broccoli (about 8 ounces), halved lengthwise, chopped (about 3 cups)
1 bunch small Swiss chard, ribs and stems removed, leaves coarsely torn (about 4 cups)
4 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)
2 ounces sharp cheddar, grated (about 1 cup)
6 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream or whole milk
3 tablespoons chopped chives
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
A 9-inch springform pan

Steps:

  • Crust:
  • Whisk salt and 2 cups flour in a large bowl to combine. Work in butter with your fingers until largest pieces are pea-size. Drizzle in 1/4 cup ice water and rake with your fingers to combine. Turn dough out onto a work surface and lightly knead to work into a shaggy dough (no dry spots should remain). Flatten into a disk; wrap in plastic and chill until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days ahead.
  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14" round. Transfer dough to pan. Lift up edges and allow dough to slump down into pan, then pat into corners and up around the sides of pan. Smooth out dough so it doesn't have any creases or folds and trim to just below the rim. (Save any scraps for patching.) Freeze until very firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Line dough with 2 layers of overlapping parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans (ideally right up to the rim; pillage the pantry for old dried beans and rice to get you there). Bake until crust is golden brown all the way around edges (peek below the parchment), 60-75 minutes. Carefully remove parchment and pie weights. If needed, patch any cracks with reserved dough trimmings and bake crust just until patches are opaque, about 5 minutes. Let crust cool.
  • Filling and assembly:
  • Reduce oven heat to 325°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook shallot and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add Swiss chard leaves and cook, tossing often, just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Stir in feta and cheddar.
  • Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, and half-and-half in a medium bowl just to combine. Mix in chives and salt; season with pepper. Scrape vegetable mixture into crust, then carefully pour in egg mixture. Bake quiche until filling is lightly browned and set across the surface but slightly wobbly in the center inch or two, 75-90 minutes. Let quiche cool in pan before unmolding and slicing.
  • Do Ahead
  • Quiche can be baked 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the final product. Fresh broccoli will have a bright green color and firm florets. Use high-quality cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan, for a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: It should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality quiche crust: You can either make your own or use a store-bought crust. If you're making your own, be sure to chill it before baking. This will help prevent it from shrinking or becoming soggy.
  • Don't overfill the quiche crust: It should be filled to about 3/4 full. Overfilling the crust will make it difficult to bake evenly.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set: It should be firm to the touch and a knife inserted into the center should come out clean. Overbaking the quiche will make it dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Broccoli 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 broccoli. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect broccoli quiche every time.
