CHEESE AND ONION QUICHE
Steps:
- Prepare a homemade or store-bought crust in advance so it can be chilled and partially baked (up to 3 days in advance).
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place crust in ungreased quiche, pie or tart dish.
- Cover with parchment paper to fill mold. Fill dish with pie weights (or beans).
- Bake 15 minutes or until edges are slightly golden. Remove parchment and pie weights. Using a fork, prick holes and bake 7 minutes until bottom of crust appears set and no longer wet. Remove from oven and allow to cool (or cover and refrigerate if making ahead) before filling.
- Reduce oven to 350°F.
- Optional: Caramelize onion on the stovetop. Add oil and onion to a pan over medium heat stirring occasionally, sauté for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess oil.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs, cream, salt and pepper 1 minute on high or until well combined.
- Whisk in onion, gruyere, salt and pepper.
- Pour filling into crust. Tent or use a pie crust shield to prevent over browning. Bake until edges are set (about 35-40 minutes). Center should be slightly jiggly when you tap on the edge of the dish. Do not overbake.
- Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing to serve. Optional: Garnish with herbs or cheeses. Serve warm or at room temperature.

QUICHE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, CREAM CHEESE AND HERBS
A recipe I found on About.com under the Moroccan food section(under eggs). This recipe is untried by me as of yet, but definitely will be making this in the near future, sounds delicious!! Here is what is stated about the recipe: "Quiche is most likely to show up on Moroccan tables during the month of Ramadan, when a variety of foods are offered to break the daily fast. This one features a savory filling with caramelized onions, cream cheese and herbs. Sometimes I throw in a small handful of chopped merquez sausage, smoked turkey, kefta or other leftover cooked meat. If you're making your own pastry shell, allow additional time for chilling the dough and pre-baking the shell as described below. The quiche can also be made in individual sized puff pastry shells."

Steps:
- Make the Pastry Shell.
- Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Add the pieces of butter and toss to coat with flour. With a fork or pastry cutter, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons cold water over the mixture and quickly stir with a fork just until a dough forms. Use the last tablespoon of water only if necessary. Gather up the dough with your hands and shape it into a disc. Cover the dough with plastic and chill for one to two hours.
- Preheat an oven to 475° F (240° C). On a floured pastry cloth, roll out the dough into a large circle and fit into a pie or tart pan. Trim and shape the edges of the pastry as desired. Prick the pastry all over with a fork and bake in the hot oven for about 7 to 8 minutes, just until the dough starts to set. Remove the shell from the oven and set aside.
- Prepare the Filling.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the onions. Add a pinch each of salt, pepper and sugar. Saute the onions over medium-low heat until tender and caramelized, about 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the parsley and chives and transfer the onions to a pre-baked pie shell. Break the cream cheese into small bits and scatter it over the onion mixture. (Also add any chopped meat, if using.).
- Bake the Quiche.
- Preheat the oven to ° F (190° C). In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then beat in the milk, cream and seasoning. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell and place in the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until set and nicely colored. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Saute onion in butter until transparent.

- Mix together the milk and eggs and nutmeg if using and pour over the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and bake for another 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality cheese: The cheese is the star of this quiche, so don't skimp on quality. Use a full-fat cream cheese and a flavorful hard cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions brings out their natural sweetness and adds a delicious depth of flavor to the quiche. Be patient and cook the onions over low heat until they are golden brown.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a pop of flavor to the quiche. Use a variety of herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, basil, or chives.
- Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and tough.
Conclusion:
This quiche with caramelized onions, cream cheese, and herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The creamy filling and flavorful crust are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this quiche a try!
