Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 small onions, peeled halved and sliced
1 pie crust (pre made)
2 -3 ounces blue cheese (crumbled) or 2 -3 ounces gorgonzola (crumbled)
5 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon tarragon
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a cast iron skillet or large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, add sliced onions, season with salt, and saute until caramelized (approx 20-30 minutes).
  • Put pie crust in 8-9 inch pie pan or tart pan. Bake for 6 minutes (you may want to put parchment paper and rice or dry beans over the crust to keep it from bubbling up).
  • In a medium bowl whisk eggs, heavy cream, sour cream, tarragon and salt and pepper until combined.
  • Remove pie crust and discard parchment paper (if used). Spread crumbled blue cheese on the bottom of pie crust. Cover the crumbled cheese with the caramelized onions and spread evenly to cover the bottom of the crust. Poor egg and cream mixture over the onions and cheese.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and set in the middle. The filling may rise. Allow to cool slightly and settle in crust before serving.

QUICHE WITH HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE



Quiche With Herbs and Goat Cheese image

This green quiche laden with herbs and with thin slices of fresh goat cheese baked on top has a Gallic rusticity. A proper quiche (also known as a tarte salée, or savory open pie) should have really good pastry and contain a soft, tender eggy custard. It should be light enough to serve as a first course, or in larger portions for a simple main course. It should be something to sing about.
