Crab And Brie Quiche On Pecan Crust Drizzled With Sage Brown Butter Recipes

BRIE AND CANADIAN BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
• Place the Canadian bacon slices, slightly overlapping, around the side and the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Brie, Italian seasoning and white pepper. Pour the mixture into the pie plate over the bacon. Bake for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes of baking, place foil over the quiche to protect it from overcooking and drying out.
• Slice and serve.

CRAB QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the pie crust for about 10 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir in shredded cheese, onion and imitation crab. Pour into the pie shell.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, then turn off the oven, but leave the door closed. Leave quiche in the oven for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until firm. This will give it a smoother texture.

CRUSTLESS PECAN, BRIE AND LEEK QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch pie or quiche pan with non-stick cooking spray. Chop a half cup of pecan halves and sprinkle evenly over the bottom of the pan.
• Cook the leeks: Remove the darkest green portion of the leeks and discard. Split the leeks in half lengthwise and then in half again. Cut into half-inch slices, wash and dry well. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter starts to froth and brown slightly on the edges of the pan, add the leeks. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the leeks become only slightly tender. Transfer about three quarters of the leeks to the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Make the batter: Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs to break them up. Add the slices of goat cheese and season with salt and pepper. Use a whisk to break up the goat cheese and blend it with the eggs. When it is fairly smooth, whisk in the half and half, hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire.
• Bake and serve: Pour the batter over the leeks. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Open the oven door and gently layer the Brie slices on top. Close the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the egg mix jiggles only slightly when you shake the pan. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Top with remaining leeks and pecans. Drizzle with balsamic. Devour.

CRAB QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Top with the crab meat and sprinkle with the scallions. Whisk together the heavy cream, lemon zest, mustard, seafood seasoning, salt, mace and eggs in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust.
• Bake until the custard sets, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

SIMPLE BROCCOLI AND BRIE CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• Line the prepared pie dish with puff pastry, covering base and sides. Trim excess pastry. Brush bottom with Dijon mustard.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Mix in broccoli; cook 3 more minutes.
• Whisk heavy cream, eggs, salt, nutmeg, black pepper, and Italian seasoning in a bowl.
• Layer broccoli mixture over the puff pastry and top with Brie cheese slices. Pour in egg mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and golden, about 30 minutes.

CRAB QUICHE

Steps:

• Make pastry:
• Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 3 tablespoons ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
• Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until just incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture, or pastry will be tough.)
• Turn out mixture onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together with scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 4-inch disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Roll out dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin and fit into pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under pastry and press against rim of pie plate to reinforce edge. Decoratively crimp edge and lightly prick bottom and side of shell with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until pastry is pale golden along rim and set underneath foil, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until bottom and side are pale golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool completely in pie plate on a rack, about 20 minutes.
• Make filling:
• If using crab leg, hack through shell with a large heavy knife and cut meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Discard shell.
• Whisk together eggs, cream, herbs, seafood seasoning, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then stir in cheeses and crabmeat.
• Pour into prebaked crust and bake until filling puffs and is no longer wobbly in center when quiche is gently shaken, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in pie plate on rack 15 minutes.

HAM AND BRIE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Wrap the remaining half of the dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish. Keep the pie shell close by, as you will add ingredients one at a time.
• To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Spread the sautéed onions across the bottom of the pie shell.
• Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and fry the ham until it turns a golden brown. Place the ham in the pie shell on top of the onion layer, distributing it evenly. Layer the brie slices over the ham.
• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, combine the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell, covering the onions, ham, and brie.
• To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is firm in the middle. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the quiche to cool and set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
• Cooked Ham and Brie Quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. An uncooked quiche can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To optimally keep quiche, put it in the freezer uncovered and let it freeze on a flat surface. Once the quiche has frozen, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and return it to the freezer.

BAKED BRIE WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cheese on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate; cool about 20 minutes.
• While cheese cools, place nuts on a clean baking sheet; bake until toasted and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle nuts over cheese.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer until foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle warm sauce over slightly cooled cheese and nuts; serve with crackers or baguette.

CRAB AND CHEDDAR QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat eggs, mayonnaise, milk, flour, and 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning in a bowl until smooth and creamy; stir Cheddar cheese and parsley into egg mixture. Gently fold crabmeat into the filling.
• Pour crabmeat filling into the pie crust. Sprinkle a pinch of seafood seasoning over the quiche.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean and the top is lightly browned, 40 to 45 minutes.

QUICHE WITH BRIE

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with the pie crust. Line the inside of the crust with crumbled wax paper or parchment paper and fill with dried beans.
• Place in oven and bake about 12-15 minutes or until partially done. Remove the beans and the paper and bake an additional 2-3 minutes to dry out the bottom.
• Preheat oven to 375F to bake the quiche.
• Using a fork, blend the cheese with the butter and cream.
• Beat in the eggs.
• Force this mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
• Stir in the chives. Taste and season with the salt, pepper and cayenne.
• Pour into the pastry, place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the quiche is puffed and browned.
