FLUFFY SPINACH, ONION AND ROASTED RED PEPPER QUICHE WITH GRUYERE



Fluffy Spinach, Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Quiche With Gruyere image

In my quest to find out what makes a quiche fluffy, I've cobbled together this recipe. And it makes a great tasting quiche with a beautiful presentation. The key (surprisingly) is not to overbeat the eggs, not to use too hot of an oven, and don't overdue the liquids.

Number Of Ingredients 12

  • Chop fresh spinach and cook in frying pan with chopped roasted red peppers until wilted and starting to dry, set aside.

ONION QUICHE



Onion Quiche image

Tender, sweet bits of onion suffuse this classic, savory tart, which gets its brawny, salty tang from browned chunks of cured pork (lardons, pancetta or bacon), all bound with a nutmeg-flecked custard. It's a dish that feels both delicate and rich, and makes a lovely lunch or brunch dish. You can make the dough up to 3 days ahead, and prebake the crust a day ahead. But the quiche is best served warm or at room temperature on the day you assembled and baked it. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, lunch, pies and tarts, main course

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), cold, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
Scant 1/2 cup ice water, or as needed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds onions (about 6 to 8 large), finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ounces lardons, diced pancetta or bacon (about 1/2 cup)
2 large eggs
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 ounces Gruyère, shredded (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Make the tart dough: In a food processor, pulse flour, salt and sugar to combine. Add butter, then pulse until lima-bean-size pieces form. Gradually drizzle water into mixture and pulse just to combine, adding more water by the tablespoon if dough doesn't come together. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Press it together into a ball, flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. (If you don't have a food processor, see Tip below.)
  • While dough chills, cook the onions for the filling: In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter and oil. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden and liquid has been cooked off, about 1 hour. (If the onions start to get too dark, reduce the heat to low.) Stir in flour and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Butter a 9-inch tart pan. Take chilled dough out of plastic wrap and place on a floured surface. Roll dough into an 11-inch circle, drape over it over tart pan and press into bottom edges and down sides. Use a knife or rolling pin to cut off excess dough, then use your fingers to push dough 1/4-inch up past the edge of pan. Use a fork to poke evenly spaced holes in the bottom and sides of the dough and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place chilled tart on a baking sheet. Line with foil, fill with pie weights and bake for 15 minutes. Remove tart from oven and carefully remove foil and pie weights. Return tart to oven to continue baking, uncovered, until dough is just baked through and barely turning golden on the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare lardons: Heat a medium, dry skillet over medium heat, then add lardons and cook until they start to brown, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine eggs, cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Fold in onions, then half the Gruyère. Cube remaining 1 tablespoon butter into pea-size pieces.
  • Scatter cooked lardons over parbaked tart shell. Scrape egg and onion mixture into shell, smoothing top, and then scatter remaining Gruyère on top. Dot with butter pieces, then bake in a 375-degree oven until puffed and browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove tart ring from pan and slide quiche onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPICY CHICKEN AND ONION QUICHE



Spicy Chicken and Onion Quiche image

This quiche is filled with sauteed onions, chicken, pepper jack, chipotle chile powder and dill.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more, for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, diced and kept very cold
4 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
1/3 cup ice water, plus more, if needed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced onion
Kosher salt
3/4 cup shredded pepper jack
1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • For the crust: Put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse to combine. Add about a third of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, 5 or 6 pulses. Add the vinegar. Then, while pulsing quickly a few times, add the ice water through the tube. Squeeze some dough between your fingers; it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. Pulse quickly; do not overwork the dough or the crust will be tough. Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten the dough into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Then roll the dough on the floured surface into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
  • For the filling: Set a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the onions evenly into the crust. Combine the pepper jack and chicken in a medium bowl and sprinkle in an even layer over the onions.
  • For the custard: Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, chipotle chile powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Stir in the dill.
  • Pour the custard over the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 onions, caramelized
4 eggs
1/2 cup creme fraiche (or sour cream)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place the pie crust in a deep dish pie pan. Whisk together eggs, milk, creme fraiche, salt and pepper.
  • Place half the spinach leaves in a layer over the egg mixture, top with the feta, caramelized onions.
  • Layer the remaining spinach on top and press down to get as much egg over top as possible.
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 350 (make sure your oven is preheated). Check at that point for firmness. If it needs another 5 minutes put it back in.
  • You may need to cover the crust i half way through so it doesn't darken too much.
