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.

Provided by Martina McBride

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 15-ounce package)
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 green onions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 cup chopped cooked ham
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup half-and-half (or whole milk)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs plus 1 white
2 tablespoons chopped jarred roasted red peppers, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Fit the piecrust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate according to the package directions; fold edges under and crimp. Prick bottom and sides of the pie crust with a fork.
  • Line the pastry with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and bake until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 more minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
  • While the pie crust is cooking, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender. Stir in the ham and garlic and cook 1 minute longer until the garlic is fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, salt, pepper, whole eggs and egg white in a medium mixing bowl. Then add the roasted red peppers, oregano and basil.
  • Sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the bottom of the pastry shell. Top with 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and the ham mixture. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake until the center is set, 35 to 40 minutes, shielding the crust with aluminum foil, if necessary. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Tip: If your quiche isn't quite done but you're in a pinch to get it on the table, just stick it in the microwave for 60 seconds. This will help the eggs to set up.

SAUSAGE AND RED BELL PEPPER QUICHE

Categories     Egg     Brunch     Side     Bake     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Sausage     Bell Pepper     Gourmet     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 2 as an entrée

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 tablespoon cold vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage, casings discarded and the meat chopped
2 red bell peppers, minced (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup grated Cheddar
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In a bowl blend together the flour, the butter, the shortening, and a pinch of salt until the mixture resembles meal, add 1 1/2 tablespoons ice water, and toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding more water if necessary to form the dough into a ball. Pat the dough into 7 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable rim and bake the shell in the bottom third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 7 minutes, or until it is just golden.
  • While the shell is baking, in a large skillet cook the sausage with the bell peppers, covered, over moderately high heat, stirring and breaking up any lumps, for 7 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink and the bell peppers are soft, and drain the mixture, discarding the excess fat. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the remaining salt, the Cheddar, and the Parmesan, and spread the mixture in the bottom of the shell. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the cream, and the milk, pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture, and bake the quiche on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F. and bake the quiche for 10 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh red peppers, you can use frozen or jarred roasted red peppers.
  • Don't over-cook the vegetables. They should be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the quiche a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't over-beat the eggs. Over-beaten eggs will make the quiche tough.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Red pepper quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give red pepper quiche a try!
