Canadian Bacon Onion Quiche Recipes

CANADIAN BACON ONION QUICHE (OAMC)

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, use beaters to cream butter, add cottage cheese and beat with mixer, using spoon gradually stir in flour.
• Form into disk, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour or up to two days. I cut plastic wrap big enough so that I can later roll pastry out on it so clean up is easy.
• Roll out pastry to fit a 9 inch pie plate.
• Transfer pastry to greased pie pan.
• Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate; flute edges.
• In skillet, sauté onions in remaining butter (1 1/2 t.) until golden brown. It is important to get the onions done to your preference because the baking steps do not cook it much more than this step does.
• Remove skillet from heat.
• Stir in garlic and set aside.
• Put cheese at bottom of pastry, top with Canadian bacon.
• in large bowl, add egg and peppers, lightly beat, stir in onion mixture from skillet.
• Pour into pastry shell.
• At this point, either wrap well and freeze or bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. (After 25 minutes, I peek to see if crust is browned enough and cover just the crust with foil so it is browned just enough. I hate real dark crust. It is not easy to do but worth it IMO.) Let sit for 10 minutes before cutting.
• TO USE FROZEN QUICHE: Remove frozen quiche from freezer 30 minutes before baking. Put rack in middle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pie on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, then cover with foil and move to lowest shelf and bake another 25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

CANADIAN BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray a 9-inch pie dish with vegetable oil spray.
• With a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread on a cutting board or flat surface.
• Cut 5 slices in half vertically (from top crust to bottom crust).
• Cut a 3-inch circle from the remaining slice with a round cookie cutter or a knife (this will go in the center of the crust).
• Place slices of bread in the bottom of the pie dish, slightly overlapping each piece to form a crust, gently pressing in the bottom and partially up the side of the pie dish.
• Place the reserved bread circle in the center and gently press down into the other slices of bread.
• Bake for 10 minutes, or until bread is toasted and golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
• Scatter Canadian bacon evenly in the bottom of the crust. Top evenly with red bell pepper and green onions.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg substitute, eggs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper, until blended.
• Carefully pour egg mixture over the meat and vegetable filling and place the pie dish on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until center is set. Remove from oven and let mixture rest 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.

BACON, CHEESE, AND CARAMELIZED ONION QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool 10 minutes. Crumble and set aside.
• Roll out pastry crust into a circle using a lightly floured rolling pin. Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust. Prick holes into the base of the dough using a fork.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
• Remove pastry crust from the oven. Brush crust with beaten egg. Return crust to the oven and bake 5 minutes more.
• Heat butter in a pan over medium heat and stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.
• Whisk 2 eggs together in a bowl using a fork. Add sour cream and cream cheese and beat using an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in salt and pepper.
• Spread caramelized onions with remaining butter onto pastry crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 the Cheddar cheese. Place crumbled bacon evenly over the top. Pour egg mixture over bacon. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese.
• Bake quiche in the preheated oven until golden and fluffy, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
