Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 oz)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
4 eggs
2 cups whipping (heavy) cream or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
Additional crisply cooked crumbled bacon, if desired

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Heat oven to 425°F. Roll pastry on lightly floured surface, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch quiche dish or glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in quiche dish or pie plate. Unfold and ease into dish, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
  • Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion in pastry-lined quiche dish. In large bowl, beat eggs slightly with fork or wire whisk. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour into quiche dish.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Bake about 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with additional bacon. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 ten inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely minced onions
1 lb fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 eggs
1 cup half-and-half (10% cream)
fresh ground pepper
1/16 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 ounces grated swiss cheese
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
3 -4 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • For Pastry: Sift together the flour and salt.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut the shortening in until mixture resembles cornmeal.
  • Slowly sprinkle ice water over the top, while tossing the mixture up from the bottom of the bowl with a fork.
  • Gather the dough into a ball, using only enough water to hold the ball together.
  • Wrap ball in waxed paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from fridge and roll out into a circle which is 2 inches larger than the diameter of the pie pan being used.
  • Put dough into pan.
  • Place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan.
  • Fill with dry beans (this will stop the pastry from puffing up during baking).
  • Bake in preheated 450F degree oven, on lowest rack, for 12 minutes.
  • Take from oven and remove beans and foil (be careful, they will be hot).
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling: Melt butter, add onions and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in mushrooms, 1 tsp salt and lemon juice.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are done and all the liquid has evaporated.
  • Continue frying the mushrooms in the butter for about 1 minute.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and cream together.
  • Add the remaining salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Stir in the mushrooms.
  • Pour into prepared pastry shell, sprinkle with swiss cheese and dot with softened butter.
  • Bake in preheated 350F degree oven for 35 minutes or until quiche is puffy and browned, and a knife inserted into center comes out clean.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The flavor of your quiche will be greatly influenced by the quality of the ingredients you use. Make sure to use fresh eggs, butter, and cheese, as well as high-quality herbs and spices.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the quiche tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind-bake the crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of fillings. You can use any combination of vegetables, meats, and cheeses that you like. Some popular fillings include spinach and feta, broccoli and cheddar, and ham and Swiss.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set. The quiche is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, quiche is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give quiche a try.
