Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
5 tablespoons ice water
4 strips bacon
2 cups small broccoli floret
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon pepper
pie weight, coffee beans, or dried beans

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
Add 2 cups (200 g) of cheddar cheese and the butter to a large bowl. Mix to combine with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons salt and mix well. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and mix. Add the remaining ice water 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should hold together when pinched, but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a bit more ice water.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead with your hands until it comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a circle about ⅛ inch (8 mm) thick. Carefully transfer the crust to a 9½-inch (24-cm) glass pie dish.
Trim the edges (save the trimmings to make crackers!). Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork, then use the tines to crimp the edges. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp.
While the crust is baking, prepare the fillings. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Using tongs, remove the bacon from the skillet and let drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle.
Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
Chop the bacon.
Remove the pie weights from the crust, then add the broccoli and chopped bacon to the center. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Whisk to combine.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Cover the edges with tinfoil if they are starting to burn.
Let the quiche cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy!

CHEDDAR BACON BROCCOLI QUICHE

Cheddar Bacon Broccoli Quiche image

My favorite cheddar bacon broccoli quiche recipes. Easy to make when you use a pre-made crust. Omit the bacon to turn this into a vegetarian quiche. Use Swiss or Emmenthal cheese for a milder, but still tangy flavor.

Time 55m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (9 inch) pie crusts, for single 9-inch one-crust pie
1/2 lb bacon, fried crisp and crumbled (about 12 slices)
1/2 cup broccoli (fresh or frozen, finely chopped)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated (I like Sharp)
1/3 cup onion, minced
4 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°.
Prepare pastry for one-crust pie (if using mix or homemade crust recipe) and bake as directed in 9" pie plate or quiche pan.
Layer bacon, onion, broccoli and cheese evenly over bottom of pie crust.
Mix together remaining ingredients.
Beat well to really mix the eggs using a whisk or blend in the blender at low speed.
Pour over other ingredients in pie crust shell.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 300°.
Bake quiche 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Let pie stand for 10 minutes to cool before cutting.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Don't overcook the quiche, or it will become dry and crumbly.
Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving, so that it has a chance to set.
Serve the quiche with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
For a vegetarian version of this quiche, omit the bacon.
If you don't have a quiche pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead.
