Fresh Herbs Quiche image

Perfect for brunch-or any meal, reallly-this easy recipe makes enough for one quiche baked in a nine-inch springform pan, or two quiches baked in eight- or nine-inch pie plates.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 6h

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
1/2 cup packed small herb sprigs, such as chervil and dill, on top (if making 2 quiches, double amount)

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.
  • Arrange herb sprigs on top. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then about 55 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool about 1 hour before serving.

QUICHE WITH HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE



Quiche With Herbs and Goat Cheese image

This green quiche laden with herbs and with thin slices of fresh goat cheese baked on top has a Gallic rusticity. A proper quiche (also known as a tarte salée, or savory open pie) should have really good pastry and contain a soft, tender eggy custard. It should be light enough to serve as a first course, or in larger portions for a simple main course. It should be something to sing about.

Categories     breakfast, dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Short-crust dough (see recipe), rolled and chilled in a 9 1/2-inch tart pan
3 large eggs
1 and 1/4 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

Steps:

  • Bake prepared dough at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Patch any small holes with leftover dough. Cool.
  • Make the custard: in mixing bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in half-and-half, salt, pepper, lemon zest, thyme, scallions and parsley. Set aside.
  • Set tart pan on a baking sheet. Spread goat cheese slices evenly over bottom of pastry. Beat custard once more and carefully pour into shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden and custard is set. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables and herbs: The fresher the ingredients, the better the quiche will taste. If possible, use vegetables and herbs that are in season.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them just until they are softened.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in a quiche, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
  • Don't overfill the quiche crust: The quiche will rise as it bakes, so don't overfill the crust. Otherwise, the quiche may overflow and make a mess.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

A fresh veggie and herb 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 and herbs. With a little planning and effort, you can make a quiche that your family and friends will love.
