Easy Cheesy And Onion Quiche Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C (360F)
• Generously grease a pie dish with butter and then sprinkle a little bit of the flour across the bottom of the dish.
• Whisk the eggs, milk and dijon mustard together in a jug.
• In a saucepan, heat a little olive oil over a medium heat. Saute the onions until they are soft, but not quite browned.
• Transfer the onions to the pie dish.
• Add the grated cheeses, and then add the rest of the flour and use a spatula to mix it it all together.
• Sprinkle the goats cheese over the top, then pour the egg mixture over.
• Sprinkle the smoked paprika on the top.
• Place in the oven for 35-40 minutes. It will be browned, but still a little wobbly, and should have puffed up a little.
• Let rest for 5-10 minutes before tucking in. It will sink back down again as it cools - that is fine.

EASY CHEESY AND ONION QUICHE

Steps:

• Cut the butter into cubes and place it in a mixing bowl with the flour and salt. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Add water (one tablespoon at a time) and mix with a flat-bladed knife until the mixture just comes together in a shaggy dough. Add just enough water to bind the dough - it should not become wet and sticky.
• Tip the dough out onto a work surface and press it gently with your hands until it comes together in a ball. Don't knead the dough, handle it gently.Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to rest.
• Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F
• Once the pastry has rested, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out into a circle large enough to cover the bottom and sides of your baking dish.The pastry should be approximately one-eighth of an inch thick.
• Carefully lift the pastry and use it to line the base and sides of your baking dish.
• Line the pastry case with baking parchment and fill it with a layer of dried beans. If you have ceramic baking beads you can use those instead. If you don't have dried beans you can use rice.
• Bake the pastry case in a hot oven (200C / 400F) for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and baking parchment (be careful - they will be hot) and bake the pastry case for another 5 minutes until it is starting to brown.Set it aside to cool.
• Cut the onions in half (from root to tip) and then slice them thinly into semi-circles.
• Melt butter with the oil in a saucepan and then add the onions.Cover the pan with a lid and fry the onions on a very gentle heat for 10 to 15 minutes until they have softened and started to caramelise. Keep your eye on the onions and stir occasionally so they don't burn. If they look as though they are browning, turn down the heat.Set the onions aside to cool.
• Beat the eggs in a jug and mix in the cream cheese. A fork will help you to get most of the lumps out. Don't worry if there are a few lumps still remaining - the cheese will melt as the quiche bakes in the oven.
• Now stir in the milk and cream and add the paprika, mustard and black pepper. Season with salt.
• Turn down the oven to 180°C / 360°F
• When the pie crust is cool, spread the onions on the base of the pastry and sprinkle with half of the grated cheese.
• Pour the prepared egg custard mixture over the top and sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes until the filling is set and the cheese is melted and golden.
