BUTTERNUT, BACON AND APPLE HOTDISH



Butternut, Bacon and Apple Hotdish image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 pound thick-cut bacon
2 large purple onions, thinly sliced
2 pounds butternut squash, seeded, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
6 sprigs fresh thyme, stems removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 cup white wine
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 large apples, like Honeycrisp, chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the filling: Lay the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet (I like to use a cast-iron pan or braiser) and turn the heat to medium. Cook, flipping once, until crisp on both sides, about 7 minutes total. Remove from the heat and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
  • Drain half the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving just enough to coat the skillet. Add the onions and turn the heat to medium-high. Saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the squash, thyme, some salt, a few turns of pepper and a few pinches of crushed red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 more minutes. Add the wine and broth. Roughly chop the bacon and add it to the skillet along with the apples. Bring the mixture to a light boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, while you make the biscuits.
  • For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and, using a food processor, pastry cutter or your hands, incorporate the butter until the mixture is the consistency of raw oatmeal. Mix in the cream until the mixture comes together to form a dough. Turn it out onto a floured work surface, pat it out to 3/4-inch thick and then cut out round biscuits, re-rolling scraps as needed.
  • Turn off the heat before dotting the top of the skillet with the biscuits. Brush the biscuits with the beaten egg and top with black pepper. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, cooked through and flaky, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve right from the skillet!

APPLE-BACON GALETTE



Apple-Bacon Galette image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 assorted apples (such as McIntosh and Granny Smith)
4 assorted apples (such as McIntosh and Granny Smith)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, beaten
Maple syrup, for brushing

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until golden but still soft, about 6 minutes; remove to paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the drippings in a small bowl; refrigerate until cold, about 15 minutes.
  • Pulse 2 slices of the bacon in a food processor until finely ground. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and 2 tablespoons sugar and pulse to combine. Add the chilled bacon drippings and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pea-size pieces. Drizzle in 4 tablespoons cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a 13-inch round between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment. Peel off the top sheet of parchment, then invert the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Peel off the sheet of parchment. Refrigerate the dough until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make the filling: Peel the apples and slice 1/4 inch thick. Toss with the lemon juice, cinnamon, 3 tablespoons sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour in a large bowl. Arrange the apples in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edge of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. Cut the remaining 4 slices bacon into bite-size pieces and sprinkle over the filling.
  • Brush the crust with the egg and sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar over the whole galette. Bake until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown, about 50 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the filling gets too brown.) Remove from the oven and brush the filling with maple syrup while still hot. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly before serving.

Whether you're having a family gathering, brunch with friends or an event, apple bacon egg bake recipe will surely be a crowd-pleaser. Here are some valuable tips to follow when making apple bacon egg bake recipes.

Choose the Right Apples

The type of apples you use is essential when making an apple bacon egg bake recipe. You want to use apples that will hold their shape after baking and not turn into mush. Apples such as Honeycrisp and Granny Smith are perfect for this recipe because they have a firm texture, but still have a sweet flavor that complements the bacon and eggs.

Bake the Bacon First

To get crispy and evenly cooked bacon, it's best to bake it prior to adding it to the egg and apple mixture. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until it's crispy but not burnt. Once it's done, drain the excess oil using a paper towel and chop the bacon into small pieces.

Beat the Eggs Well

Beating the eggs well is crucial in creating a creamy texture for the egg bake. Use a whisk or blender to mix the eggs until they're smooth and creamy. Adding a splash of milk or heavy cream can also help create a richer and creamier texture.

Layer the Ingredients Carefully

When layering the ingredients for the apple bacon egg bake recipe, it's essential to create even layers so that all flavors blend together. Start by layering a slice of bread at the bottom of the baking dish, followed by a layer of chopped apples and bacon bits. Pour the egg mixture over the apples and bacon and sprinkle cheese on top. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up.

Cover with Foil and Let it Rest

After layering all the ingredients, cover the baking dish with foil and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight. This allows the bread to absorb the egg mixture and flavors to meld together, resulting in a moist and flavorful bake.

Control the Oven Temperature

Baking the apple bacon egg bake recipe at the right temperature is essential to achieve a perfectly cooked egg bake. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it with foil to prevent burning.

Let it Cool Before Serving

Once the apple bacon egg bake recipe is done baking, let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the dish to set and makes it easier to slice. You can garnish it with fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley and serve with a side of fruit or toast.

Conclusion

The apple bacon egg bake recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish that's perfect for any occasion. By following these valuable tips, you can create a mouth-watering and flavorful egg bake that everyone will love. Remember to select the right apples, bake the bacon first, beat the eggs well, layer the ingredients carefully, cover with foil and let it rest, control the oven temperature, and let it cool before serving. These tips will help you create the perfect apple bacon egg bake recipe every time.
