SPINACH QUICHE



Spinach Quiche image

Made with heavy cream and Gruyère, this rich spinach quiche is classic French.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 9-inch deep dish frozen pie crust
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup thinly sliced shallots
4 large eggs
1¼ cups heavy cream
Pinch ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup (4 oz) finely shredded Gruyère, packed
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and wrung free of water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack in the middle position. Remove the pie crust from freezer and thaw until just soft enough to easily prick with a fork, about 10 minutes. Prick the bottom and sides all over with a fork (pricking about an inch apart). Bake until fully cooked and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. (Keep an eye on it...if it puffs up while cooking, gently prick it with a fork so it will deflate.) Don't worry if the crust cracks while baking; see my note below on how to fix it before proceeding. Set aside and turn oven down to 325°F.
  • Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the shallots until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown. Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt and cayenne pepper.
  • Place the cooked pie crust on a baking sheet (this makes it easy to move in and out of oven). Spread the shallots over the bottom of the cooked crust, then sprinkle the shredded Gruyere over top. Scatter the spinach evenly over cheese, breaking up the clumps as best you can. Pour the egg and cream mixture over top.
  • Bake at 325°F degrees for 50 to 55 minutes until the custard is set and top is lightly golden. Serve hot or warm.
  • Note: I usually defrost the frozen spinach quickly by placing it in a fine mesh strainer and running hot water over it. I then gather the spinach into a ball and squeeze it dry. It takes a few minutes of squeezing and re-squeezing to get all the water out. Be patient...you need the spinach completely dry, otherwise your quiche will be watery.
  • Note: Don't panic if your crust cracks -- you can easily fix it. Make a smooth paste by mixing 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of water. Use your fingers to patch up and fill any cracks, then place the crust back in the oven for a minute or so to set. It should be good as new.
  • Make ahead: This quiche can be made up to a day ahead of time and refrigerated. To reheat: Cover the quiche with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 300°F oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until hot in the center.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked quiche can be frozen for up to 3 months. Remove the quiche from the freezer about 24 hours prior to eating and reheat it, covered with foil, in a 300°F oven until hot in the center.

AUTHENTIC QUICHE LORRAINE



Authentic Quiche Lorraine image

Delicious quiche with homemade crust (it's worth it). It's my understanding that the addition of cheese to quiche is not common in France, and the addition of onions to a Quiche Lorraine transforms it into Quiche Alsacienne (from the region of Alsace rather than the region of Lorraine). Regardless, "Classic French Cooking" by Luard, the source of this recipe, includes neither. Note that crust can be pre-made the night before, although it may dry a little.

Provided by Da Huz

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons cold water
1 cup bacon, ends (or coarsely chopped bacon)
1 tablespoon butter
4 eggs, forked together but not beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Sift flour with 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 1 stick chilled butter. Mix by hand (use your fingers) until it forms into little chunks about the size of large grains of rice.
  • Fork 1 egg yolk with 2 tbsp cold water. Combine with dry ingredients and work by hand until it forms a large ball of dough. Add up to 1 more tbsp of cold water if needed.
  • Wrap in plastic-wrap and let sit in a cool place 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400. Roll dough until big enough to place in a 10" tart pan.
  • Grease tart pan before placing dough in it. Gently move dough to tart pan. Do not stretch it. Trim as needed and use trimmings to patch any tears that may have developed.
  • Prick pastry with a fork. Line with foil, shiny-side down, and fill with a little dry rice or beans to ensure that the foil stays in place. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Remove rice or beans. Remove foil. Bake 5 minutes more. Allow to cool.
  • Reduce oven heat to 300.
  • Fry bacon in 1 tbsp butter.
  • In a large bowl mix 4 eggs with the cream. Mix thoroughly but do not beat or whip. Stir in bacon, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ensure that oven temperature has dropped to 300. Bake 25-30 minutes. Best when served immediately, as it cools quickly.

  • Make the two batches of Foolproof Shortcrust Pastry, one after the other. When the first one is done, dump it on a floured working surface, and make the second batch right away. Dump it over the first batch, then, using your hands, gather the whole thing into a loose, flattened ball. Sprinkle the dough with flour, then roll out to a 16-in (40 cm) circle. (Sprinkle with more flour as needed to prevent sticking.) The pastry should be about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
  • In a large saute pan or Dutch oven set over medium heat, warm up the extra-virgin olive oil until shimmering. Add the sliced onions, sprinkle with 1 tsp (5 ml) of the salt, then stir to combine. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Uncover, stir, reduce the heat to low, and continue cooking, uncovered, until the onions are tender and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes to ensure the onions cook evenly. Transfer the cooked onions to a large bowl and let cool completely.
