Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
3 tablespoons ice water
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for blanching
1 asparagu, woody ends trimmed
2 large egg yolks
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups heavy cream
4 oz goat cheese, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch McCormick® Ground Nutmeg
3 tablespoons fresh chives, divided, thinly sliced
pie weight, or dried beans
glass pie plate, 8 in (20 cm)

Steps:

  • Add the flour and salt to a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse 6-8 times until broken down into pea-sized pieces. Add the water and pulse 8-10 times, until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and shape into a disc. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a circle about ⅛-inch thick. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and gently transfer to an 8-inch pie dish. Press the dough flush against the dish. Trim any excess dough around the edges. Fold the edges of dough back underneath itself, then crimp using an index finger knuckle on one hand and the thumb and index finger on the other hand.
  • Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is beginning to brown around the edges. Remove the crust from the oven and carefully lift out the parchment paper and baking beans.
  • Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, until the bottom is beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and set on a rack to cool while you make the filling.
  • Fill a large, high-walled skillet with water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, season the water generously with salt. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set nearby.
  • Blanch the asparagus in the simmering water for 30-60 seconds, until bright green and tender. Transfer to the ice bath to cool for 1-2 minutes, then drain and let dry on a paper towel or kitchen towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Reserve 8-10 spears of asparagus. Cut the rest into 1-inch pieces.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, eggs, heavy cream, black pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Add the asparagus pieces and 2 tablespoons of chives and whisk to incorporate.
  • Spread 3 ounces of the goat cheese across the bottom.
  • Pour the filling into the crust. Arrange the reserved asparagus spears on top. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of chives and dot with the remaining ounce of goat cheese.
  • Bake the quiche for 28-35 minutes, until the center is set, but still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
  • Transfer the quiche to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the crust:
3 cups shredded uncooked Idaho potatoes
1 cup crushed potato chips
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
Butter for greasing the pie pan
For the filling:
1/2 pound new potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup coarsely cracked potato chips
1 cup coarsely chopped baby arugula
1 cup chopped scallions, whites only
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
6 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
A 10-inch pie pan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Make the crust. Combine all of the ingredients for the crust in a large bowl, and stir to mix thoroughly, until you have a dough that will hold together in the pie pan. Press the dough into a lightly greased 10-inch pie plate, evenly coating the bottom and sides. Bake until browned, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Combine the ingredients for the filling in a large mixing bowl, and stir to thoroughly incorporate. When the crust is ready, pour in the filling and return to the oven. Bake until the center sets (a knife inserted will come out dry), about 1 hour. If the sides of the crust start to burn, cover the quiche loosely with foil.
  • Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature to set. Serve sliced into wedges, with some lemony bitter greens alongside.
