BRIE AND BROCCOLI QUICHE



Brie and Broccoli Quiche image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 yellow onions, sliced
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought, recipe follows
All-purpose flour, for rolling
8 ounces Brie
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter
1 large egg
5 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Fry the onions in the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes (maybe longer). Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli in the boiling water for 1 minute, then remove it to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Remove it from the water to drain.
  • Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and press into a deep fluted tart pan with a removable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Lay the onions over the base of the crust, then lay the brocolli pieces on top of the onions. Chop the Brie and lay that in the crust too.
  • Whip the half-and-half, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl, then pour it into the crust. Sprinkle the chives on top.
  • Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. (The quiche will still seem slightly loose, but will continue to set once removed from the oven.) Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then, if using a tart pan, remove the quiche from the pan. Cut into slices with a sharp serrated knife and serve.
  • Put the flour in a large bowl. With a pastry cutter, gradually work the shortening and butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork and pour it into the flour mixture. Add the cold water, white vinegar and salt. Stir gently to combine.
  • Form the dough into 2 evenly sized balls and place each ball into a gallon food storage bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using them immediately, it's still a good idea to put them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes.

HAM AND BRIE QUICHE



Ham and Brie Quiche image

Categories     Bake     Fry     Brie     Ham     Pastry

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie, 6 to 8 slices (level: easy)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Crust
1 recipe Traditional Pastry Piecrust dough for a 9-inch single-crust pie (page 5)
1/4 cup heavy cream (to glaze the crimped pie edges)
Filling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil)
3/4 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup cubed smoked ham steak (1/2 inch)
3/4 cup thinly sliced brie
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Wrap the remaining half of the dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish. Keep the pie shell close by, as you will add ingredients one at a time.
  • To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Spread the sautéed onions across the bottom of the pie shell.
  • Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and fry the ham until it turns a golden brown. Place the ham in the pie shell on top of the onion layer, distributing it evenly. Layer the brie slices over the ham.
  • In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, combine the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell, covering the onions, ham, and brie.
  • To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is firm in the middle. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the quiche to cool and set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • Cooked Ham and Brie Quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. An uncooked quiche can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To optimally keep quiche, put it in the freezer uncovered and let it freeze on a flat surface. Once the quiche has frozen, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and return it to the freezer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your quiche the best flavor. If you can, try to buy organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set. If you overcook it, the quiche will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing: This will help the quiche to hold its shape when you cut it.
  • Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature: Quiche is best served warm or at room temperature. If you're reheating the quiche, be sure to do so slowly and gently to avoid overcooking it.

Conclusion:

O'Brien quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be an O'Brien quiche recipe that everyone will love.
