Caramelized Onion & Bacon Quiche
1 recipe pie dough, pate brisee or you can use store bought pie crust 1 - 2 TB olive oil 3 large sweet onions, chopped in long strips, medium size Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 TB balsamic vinegar 1 ½ cups half & half 3 large eggs Pinch nutmeg 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated ¾ cup of sharp cheddar, shredded 4 - 5 slices of cooked bacon (I used thick sliced), crumbled/chopped
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 9 inch pie dish pressing dough into corners and around the edges. Transfer to freezer to chill for 30 minutes. (note, I made a double crust, since I like a thicker crust)
Preheat oven to 350°. Place parchment paper on pie shell then fill at least two-thirds with baking weights - dried beans, rice, or aluminum pie weights. Bake first for 15 minutes, remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Carefully remove parchment=2 0paper and weights. Poke the bottom of the pie pan with the tines of a fork and return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly golden. (Fork holes are for any air to escape.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool while making filling. (Note: I did not poke holes)
Cook bacon to well cooked, place bacon on paper towels to drain. Remove all bacon grease from pan (do not clean the pan) and add in onions (I did not clean the pan as I wanted the onions to absorb some of the flavor of the bacon). Keep pan on medium heat, add on the olive oil then add the onions. Season with salt & pepper. Caramelize the onions, this should take about 45 minutes +/-; stirring onions every 10 minutes On the last ten minutes of caramelization add in the TB of balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan, combine thru. Remove from heat, set aside.
In a bowl combine the 2 cheeses. Sprinkle half the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the crust. Spread onions over the cheese, then the crumbled bacon and then top with remaining cheese.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the half & half and eggs. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pour over cheese. Transfer to oven, and bake at 350 degrees until just set in the center, 45 - 60 minutes (this all depends on your stove, mine took about 48 minutes). Cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serves 6-8. | |

Broccoli and Cheese Quiche
1 quiche pastry 1 cup small broccoli florets 2 sliced mushrooms 3 green onions, including some tender green tops, thinly sliced 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese 1 cup Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 425F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry dough into a round 12 inches in diameter. Drape the round over the rolling pin and carefully transfer to a 9 inch pie pan. Gently ease the pastry into the pan. Trim the pastry even with the pan rim. Prick the bottom and side of the pastry shell with fork tines. Form a double thick 12 inch square of aluminum foil, poke a few holes in it, then press it into the pastry lined pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove foil and bake until the pastry looks dry but not brown, about 4 minutes longer. Remove from the oven. Reduce the temperature to 325F. Bring a saucepan 3/4 full of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until tender crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain well, pat dry, and set aside. In a bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Stir in the green onions, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Scatter the broccoli evenly in the pastry shell. Drop small clumps of the cheese evenly among the florets. Carefully pour in the egg mixture. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm. Serves 4.
