Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°; prick the crust all over with a fork.
• Line it with tin foil and weight the bottom with a pile of dried beans, rice, or other weights that will sit flat on the surface.
• Bake 12 minutes; remove from the oven and carefully remove the weight and foil; turn the oven to 325°.

• Place the baked crust on a baking sheet; pour the egg mixture into the crust, right to the top.
• Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven; bake 30-40 minutes, until the mixture is set but still moist; it should still jiggle just a little in the middle (cover pie crust edges with foil if getting too brown).

RACHEL RAY'S BASIC QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If using fresh pie crust, line a deep pie plate or quiche dish with it.
• 2. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and add the milk and cream. Whisk together thoroughly and then stir in the herbs and seasonings.
• 3. Sprinkle grated cheese on bottom of crust. If using any of the optional ingredients, sprinkle them on the bottom of the pie crust, too. Make sure your pie plate is large enough to hold everything. You may need to cut back on the cheese or a little of the milk if you use a lot of optional ingredients.
• 4. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake for 30 minutes. If the quiche still has a liquidy and jiggly center, bake for another 10 minutes. If firm, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Quiche can be served at room temperature.
• 5. If crust edges get dark, cover them with foil or a pie crust guard and keep cooking until the center of the quiche is set. I normally have to cook mine for 35-40 minutes in a deep-dish quiche plate.

BASIC SHORT-CRUST PASTRY (QUICHE)

Steps:

• Put flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer or food processor. Add butter and quickly cut it into flour until mixture resembles coarse meal. 2. Add ice water and mix briefly, about 30 seconds, to form a soft dough. Remove dough, shape into a thick disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Bring to cool room temperature before rolling. 3. To roll, lightly flour dough and counter. Roll out gradually, periodically letting dough rest for a moment before continuing. This makes rolling easier and will keep dough from shrinking back during baking. 4. Roll dough to a thin round approximately 13 inches in diameter, then trim to make a 12-inch circle (refrigerate and save trimmings for patching). Lay dough loosely into a 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom, letting it relax a bit. Fold overlap back inside to make a double thickness, then press firmly against the pan so the finished edge is slightly higher than the pan. Refrigerate or freeze for an hour before pre-baking.

1-2-3 BASIC QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small skillet saute onion in a little oil until tender, set aside to cool.
• In a medium mixing bowl stir together eggs, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, cheese, and onions. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake until knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.

BASIC CLASSIC QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the crust. Using a food processor with the metal blade, whisk together the flour and salt.
• 2. Cut the cold butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and drop into the flour mixture. Process until the dough is crumbly.
• 3. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons ice water and process. If the dough begins to form a ball and move around the processor bowl, you have enough water. If it is still crumbly, add more ice water until it does form a ball.
• 4. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat it into a round about an inch thick. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least an hour. You can make the dough one day and bake it the next.
• 5. Saute the bacon and 1/2 cup finely diced onions in a skillet with 1 tablespoon oil just until the onions are softened. Add a teaspoon of dried rosemary and saute another minute. Add the salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. You can do this step the day before as well if you like. Refrigerate if you do.
• 6. When you are ready to make the quiche, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the dough and fit it into a 9"- quiche or pie pan. Cover the pastry with aluminum foil, fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights and bake 3 more minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F.
• 7. Beat the 4 eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the half & half and blend well. Stir in the bacon/onion mixture. Fold in the grated cheese.
• 8. Pour the filling into the pie shell and return to the oven. Bake 45-50 minutes until the pie is set firm.
• 9. May be eaten hot or cold.
