Bacon And Cabbage Quiche Recipes

EASY BACON AND CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place unthawed pie crust on a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, mix the bacon, onions, and both cheeses. Pour this mixture into the crust.
• Mix the eggs and half and half in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes, until top of quiche begins to turn brown.

CABBAGE AND SPRING ONION QUICHE WITH CARAWAY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onions. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes, until beginning to color. Add cabbage and cook, stirring often, until cabbage wilts, about 5 minutes. Add another pinch of salt and caraway seeds and continue to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until cabbage is sweet, cooked down, lightly colored and very tender. Taste, adjust salt, and add freshly ground pepper. Remove from heat.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in the oven for 5 minutes. (The egg seals the crust so that it won't become soggy when it comes into contact with the custard.)
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread cabbage and onion in an even layer in the crust. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top. Very slowly pour in the egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the quiche, and you want to keep the custard from spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the butter to a saute pan over medium heat, add the cabbage and caraway seeds and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and press into a deep fluted tart pan with a removable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Lay the cabbage in the crust, followed by the corned beef.
• Whip the half-and-half, mustard, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl, then pour it into the crust.
• Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. (The quiche will still seem slightly loose, but will continue to set once removed from the oven.) Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then, if using a tart pan, remove the quiche from the pan. Cut into slices with a sharp serrated knife and serve.
• Put the flour in a large bowl. With a pastry cutter, gradually work the shortening and butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal, 3 or 4 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork and pour it into the flour mixture. Add the cold water, white vinegar and salt. Stir gently to combine.
• Form the dough into 2 evenly sized balls and place each ball into a gallon food storage bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using them immediately, it's still a good idea to put them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes.

BACON CHEESEBURGER QUICHE

Steps:

• Brown hamburger in skillet with onion.
• Remove and mix in bowl with bacon pieces, breaking up any larger clumps with a fork or pastry mixer until you have a fine mix.
• Drain well of any excess grease and press into the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan.
• Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine remaining ingredients in mixer bowl and whip well.
• Pour mixture over beef"crust" and bake 40-45 minutes until top is browned and"set".
• Cool 15-20 minutes before slicing.
• This can be packaged in Ziplocs or plastic containers for meals quickly microwaved over the next 3-5 days.
• (Does not freeze well, though.)

CABBAGE-CARAWAY QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat 5 minutes. Add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage and cook until all liquid evaporates and cabbage is golden brown, stirring frequently, about 16 minutes.
• Combine half and half, eggs, cheese, salt and caraway; season generously with pepper. Stir in cabbage mixture. Pour into crust. Bake until filling puffs and starts to brown, about 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHICKEN WITH BACON AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Brown the chicken in the olive oil - you can skip this step if you're short on time.
• Remove chicken, pour off any excess fat.
• Brown the onion.
• Add the garlic and bacon and continue to brown.
• Add the remaining ingredients.
• Top up with water or stock if chicken not covered.
• Reduce heat and cook slowly for 1-2 hours.
• Stir in the thyme, salt and pepper - be careful with the salt because the bacon and olives are salty.
• You can thicken with corn flour if you like. Sometimes I chop up a potato and add with the cabbage to thicken it.
• Serve with pasta, rice, potatoes, polenta etc.
