Cheese And Fresh Herb Quiche Recipes

FRESH HERBS QUICHE

Steps:

• Crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together egg and yolk with ice water. Add to flour mixture and pulse until moist crumbs start to form (no longer). Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and, using wrap and your hands, form into a disk (or 2 disks, if making 2 quiches in pie plates). Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Let sit at room temperature until pliable, then roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch springform pan, folding and pressing sides to an even thickness. (Or roll out 2 disks to 11-inch rounds and fit into 8- or 9-inch pie plates.)
• Trim edge of dough flush with top of springform pan. (If using pie plates, fold edges of dough under; crimp as desired.) Wrap in plastic; freeze at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake, with a baking sheet on rack below, 20 minutes; remove paper and beans. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes (8 to 10 minutes, for pie plates). Let cool.
• Reduce oven to 375 degrees. Whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in remaining ingredients until well combined.
• Pour custard mixture into cooled crust, stopping just short of top (if making in 2 pie plates, divide evenly between crusts). You may not need to use all of custard; be careful not to overfill.
• Arrange herb sprigs on top. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then about 55 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool about 1 hour before serving.

CHEESE AND FRESH HERB QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle the cheeses into the pie shell. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and cream until blended. Stir in herbs. Pour over top of cheese.
• 2. In a preheated 400º oven, bake on a lower rack for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
• 3. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

FRESH VEGGIE AND HERB QUICHE

Steps:

• Combine cooked rice, 1 egg, 1/4 cup cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, stir well.
• Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.
• Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes, set aside.
• Place chopped broccoli and cauliflower in a vegetable steamer over boiling water, cover and steam 5 minutes or until crisp tender.
• Drain.
• Arrange broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot in rice shell.
• Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
• Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs, and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stir well, pour over cheese.
• Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes or until set.
• Let stand 5 minutes, serve warm.

HERBED QUICHE WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust dough to 1/8-inch thickness to fit an 8-inchfluted tart pan. Fill the pan with the dough, easing the dough into the bottom and lightly pressing it against the sides. Trim off the excess dough.
• Line the pastry shell with parchment paper, and fill it with ceramic pie weights or dried beans. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet, and bake for 9 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set the tart pan on a wire rack to cool. Remove the parchment paper and the weights.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, blue cheese, and butter. Whisk in the eggs until well blended. Stir in the cream, milk, salt, pepper, and herbs. Pour the filling into the partially baked pie shell. Return the tart pan to the baking sheet and bake, rotating the quiche halfway through, until it is puffed and golden brown, 25 minutes. The quiche is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the tart pan from the baking sheet and set it on a wire rack to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

QUICHE WITH HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Bake prepared dough at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Patch any small holes with leftover dough. Cool.
• Make the custard: in mixing bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in half-and-half, salt, pepper, lemon zest, thyme, scallions and parsley. Set aside.
• Set tart pan on a baking sheet. Spread goat cheese slices evenly over bottom of pastry. Beat custard once more and carefully pour into shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden and custard is set. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

QUICHE

Steps:

• In medium bowl, toss 4 teaspoons flour with the grated cheese. Sprinkle mixture into the pie shell. On top of cheese, sprinkle 1/2 cup of diced ham.
• In medium bowl, combine eggs, milk or cream, and then add salt and mustard powder. Beat until smooth and pour over cheese and ham.
• Put piece of plastic wrap large enough to overlap sides over top of quiche, then a piece of foil, and seal well around the edges. (plastic keeps the foil from sticking to the food). Place prepared quiche in freezer.
• When ready to prepare, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.) Remove foil and plastic wrap. Put foil around edge of crust to protect it.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Garnish with parsley and pimiento if desired
