INA GARTEN'S QUICHE

Steps:

• Pulse the flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the flour looks like cornmeal.
• Next, sprinkle in 3 tbsp of ice water and start pulsing until your dough begins to come together.
• Now, pinch the dough with your fingers to make sure it holds together. If it doesn't, add up to 2 tbsp of ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, and pulse the mixture again.
• Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and pat it into a disc before wrapping it tightly and placing it in the fridge until firm. Allow it to sit for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• Roll the dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick, on a lightly floured working surface.
• Line a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with the dough, leaving an even overhang of dough all around.
• Press the dough into the edges of the pan and the fluted sides. Then, roll a rolling pin over the top to cut off the excess dough. Discard the excess dough.
• Prick the bottom all over with the use of a fork, and let it chill for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Press a piece of parchment over your chilled crust and then fill the crust with either pie weights, raw beans, or rice. Put the pan on a baking sheet.
• Bake the crust for about 40 minutes until it turns golden around the edges.
• When it's done, carefully remove the parchment and weights; return the crust to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes until the crust is dry and slightly golden.
• Allow the crust to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
• In a medium skillet, combine the butter with the onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup water.
• Cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the onions are completely softened and all the water has evaporated.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate medium skillet set over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp.
• When the onion is cooked, add the bacon to it using a slotted spoon. Then, stir in 1 tsp thyme and 1/2 tsp pepper.
• Now, you spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the crust and sprinkle the top with the Gruyere.
• Next, in a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the eggs and 1/2 tsp salt until well combined.
• Pour the cream mixture over the filling in the crust and top it with the remaining 1 tsp thyme.
• Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until set and golden, about 30 minutes.
• Make sure to let the quiche cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove and discard the bottom half of the broccolini stems. Cut the broccolini stems in half or quarters lengthwise, depending on the size of the stems. Don't cut the florets--just pull them apart. Place the broccolini on a sheet pan. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil on the broccolini and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, making sure the broccolini is lightly coated with oil. Spread the broccolini in one layer and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing once with a metal spatula, until crisp-tender.
• Meanwhile, slice the Cheddar 1/4-inch thick and break it into large crumbles. When the broccolini is ready, sprinkle the cheese on the broccolini and return to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese just melts. Squeeze on the lemon juice, taste for seasonings, and serve hot.

BROCCOLI GARLIC QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Fit dough into pie plate, letting excess hang over edge. Fold overhang inward and press against side of pie plate to reinforce edge. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Line pie shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until pastry is set and edge is pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Carefully remove foil and weights, then bake shell until deep golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes more. Put pie plate in a 4-sided sheet pan. Leave oven on.
• While shell bakes, cook broccoli in a 3-quart pot of boiling salted water 4 minutes. Drain broccoli and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then pat dry.
• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a generous pinch of salt.
• Whisk together garlic paste, eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until smooth.
• Pour filling into pie shell and add broccoli, then sprinkle with cheeses.
• Bake quiche until custard is just set, 45 to 50 minutes. (Center will tremble slightly; filling will continue to set as it cools.) Cool at least 20 minutes.
• Serve quiche warm or at room temperature.
