Cheesy Onion Quiche Recipes

CRUSTLESS CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion in the heated butter-olive oil until onions soften, about 10 minutes. Transfer onion to a plate to cool.
• Whisk cream, eggs, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; stir in mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and onion. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

CHEESE AND ONION QUICHE

Steps:

• Prepare a homemade or store-bought crust in advance so it can be chilled and partially baked (up to 3 days in advance).
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place crust in ungreased quiche, pie or tart dish.
• Cover with parchment paper to fill mold. Fill dish with pie weights (or beans).
• Bake 15 minutes or until edges are slightly golden. Remove parchment and pie weights. Using a fork, prick holes and bake 7 minutes until bottom of crust appears set and no longer wet. Remove from oven and allow to cool (or cover and refrigerate if making ahead) before filling.
• Reduce oven to 350°F.
• Optional: Caramelize onion on the stovetop. Add oil and onion to a pan over medium heat stirring occasionally, sauté for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess oil.
• In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs, cream, salt and pepper 1 minute on high or until well combined.
• Whisk in onion, gruyere, salt and pepper.
• Pour filling into crust. Tent or use a pie crust shield to prevent over browning. Bake until edges are set (about 35-40 minutes). Center should be slightly jiggly when you tap on the edge of the dish. Do not overbake.
• Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing to serve. Optional: Garnish with herbs or cheeses. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BACON, CHEESE, AND CARAMELIZED ONION QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool 10 minutes. Crumble and set aside.

• Bake crust in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
• Remove pastry crust from the oven. Brush crust with beaten egg. Return crust to the oven and bake 5 minutes more.
• Heat butter in a pan over medium heat and stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.
• Whisk 2 eggs together in a bowl using a fork. Add sour cream and cream cheese and beat using an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in salt and pepper.
• Spread caramelized onions with remaining butter onto pastry crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 the Cheddar cheese. Place crumbled bacon evenly over the top. Pour egg mixture over bacon. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese.
