CHEF JOHN'S QUICHE LORRAINE



Chef John's Quiche Lorraine image

In my opinion, a proper quiche should be rich, custardy, and luxurious--not some kind of dense, baked omelet. This has only enough eggs and yolks to hold things together, but that means you need to let it cool to just warm before serving, to fully enjoy the experience.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (see footnote for recipe link)
8 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
½ cup chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
½ cup chopped onion
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup milk
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
6 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Roll pie dough to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 minutes before baking. Line the chilled pie crust with foil and fill halfway up with dried beans, rice, or baking weights. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan to drain. Blot out some of the oil from the skillet, leaving 1 to 2 teaspoons. Add leeks, onion, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  • Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, and milk together in a large bowl. Add thyme and stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle 2/3 of onion-leek mixture on the bottom of the baked crust. Top with 1/3 cooked bacon and 2/3 Gruyere cheese. Ladle in egg mixture carefully. Sprinkle with remaining onion-leek mixture, remaining bacon, and remaining Gruyere cheese.
  • Bake filled quiche in the preheated oven until browned and set, and no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

SAUSAGE & VEGGIE QUICHE RECIPE BY TASTY



Sausage & Veggie Quiche Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chicken sausage, onion, mushroom, fresh spinach, salt, black pepper, eggs, milk, premade pie crust, parmesan cheese

Provided by Jordan Kenna

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ lb chicken sausage
½ cup onion, chopped
½ cup mushroom, chopped
4 oz fresh spinach, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 premade pie crust, thawed
parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Cook sausage over medium-high until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, being sure to break up the meat into a fine mince.
  • Remove cooked sausage from pan and wipe away excess fat with a paper towel.
  • Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted and no extra liquid has accumulated in the bottom of the pan.
  • NOTE: Do your best to use the excessive moisture of the spinach and mushrooms to deglaze the bottom of the pan, scraping away any browned bits from cooking the sausage earlier.
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Once cooked, remove the spinach and mushroom mixture from the pan and combine it with the reserved cooked sausage. Stir to mix evenly.
  • Combine eggs and milk. Lightly whisk until just combined.
  • Add sausage and spinach mixture to the bottom of a prepared 9-inch (23cm) pie crust, making sure to spread it evenly.
  • Pour in beaten eggs to fill the rest of the pie crust and top with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!
