SWEET ONION AND LEEK QUICHE



Sweet Onion and Leek Quiche image

Because quiche is a custard, by definition it requires that a protein (egg) and fat (cream) mixture set up during baking but remain soft and silky when served at room temperature. Here, the cream has been eliminated completely, making a portion that is just over 200 calories. The flavor comes from caramelized onions, a little bit of bacon, and a small dose of an assertive cheese, such as Gruyère.

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium leeks, cut in half lengthwise and sliced into 1/3-inch-thick half-moons
Nonstick cooking spray
2 medium Vidalia onions, sliced thin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons real bacon bits, such as Hormel Real Bacon Bits
1 ounce Gruyère cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
1 1/2 cups egg substitute
One 9-inch frozen whole-wheat pie shell, such as Wholly Wholesome, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
  • Wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt or sand, drain, and dry on paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, spray it with cooking spray. Add the leeks and onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover the pan and lower the heat to medium. Continue to cook until the onion mixture is completely soft, about 8 more minutes. Spread the onion mixture on a baking sheet to cool quickly.
  • When the onion mixture is cool, transfer it to a large bowl. Add the bacon, cheese, and egg substitute. Mix until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and pour it into the prepared pie shell. Bake the quiche until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly. Then cut it into 8 wedges, and serve.

QUICHE LORRAINE



Quiche Lorraine image

The first quiche to come to the attention of the American public was the quiche Lorraine in the 1950s. Since then we have gone through what has amounted to the quiching of America. Like ice cream, the quiche appears in all flavors -- from asparagus to zucchini. This recipe makes enough filling for a pie dish. If you use a tart pan, expect to have extra custard.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, pies and tarts, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Pastry for a one-crust nine-inch pie (see pastry recipe)
4 strips bacon
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 cup Gruyère or Swiss cheese, cubed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups heavy cream or 1 cup each milk and cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Tabasco sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a nine-inch pie plate with the pastry. By all means build a rim with the pastry and flute it. This is essential for the amount of custard indicated in this recipe.
  • Cover the bottom of the pastry with a round of parchment paper and add enough dried beans or peas to partly fill the shell. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees. Remove and discard the beans and parchment paper and set the pastry-lined pie plate aside.
  • Cook the bacon until crisp and remove it from skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat remaining in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining fat until the onion is transparent.
  • Crumble the bacon and sprinkle the bacon, onion and cheeses over the inside of the partly baked pastry.
  • Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste. Strain the mixture over the onion-cheese mixture. Slide the pie onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake the pie until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let stand five or 10 minutes before serving.

FLAMICHE AUX POIREAUX (LEEK TART)



Flamiche Aux Poireaux (Leek Tart) image

Provided by Patricia Wells

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 2h30m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups unbleached flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
12 small leeks (about 3 pounds)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1/4 cup creme fraiche or heavy cream
4 slices unsmoked ham, such as prosciutto, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup grated Gruyere-style cheese, such as Comte

Steps:

  • In a food processor, process the flour, butter and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 seconds. Add three tablespoons of water and process for three seconds. Pinch the dough, and if it does not hold together, add additional water and process for several more seconds. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should not form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead, just until it forms a ball. Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to line a 10 1/2-inch tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan. Chill for another 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Trim the leeks at the root. Cut off and discard the fibrous, dark green portion. Split the leeks lengthwise for easier cleaning and rinse in cold water until no grit appears. Coarsely chop the leeks.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, add the leeks, salt and pepper and cook, covered, until the leeks are very soft, about 20 minutes. They should not brown.
  • If the leeks have given up an excessive amount of liquid, drain them in a colander. Combine the eggs and creme fraiche in a medium-size bowl, mixing until thoroughly blended. Add the leeks and mix again. Reserve a quarter cup each of the cheese and the ham to sprinkle on top of the tart. Mix the rest into the leek mixture.
  • Pour the leek mixture into the prepared tart tin. Sprinkle with the ham, then the cheese. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Bake until nicely browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

LEEK QUICHE



Leek Quiche image

We often have potluck breakfasts at my school. I came up with this leek quiche recipe so I could bring something different and filling to share. You can make it in the large pie version or in little tartlets. And if you want to make it vegetarian, just eliminate the sausage. —Kathryn Dampier, Quail Valley, California

CARAMELIZED LEEK QUICHE



Caramelized Leek Quiche image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 11

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Woven Dried-Fruit Tart
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 leeks, whites and light green parts only, halved lenthwise, sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups freshly grated gruyere cheese
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Fit dough into a 10-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing into edges. Trim dough to a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Fold edge of dough over to create an edge that extends 1/4-inch above the pan. Lightly prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Chill until firm about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line bottom of dough with parchment paper, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are just beginning to turn golden, about 30 minutes. Remove parchment paper and weights; continue baking until lightly golden all over, 10 to 15 minutes more. Cool tart shell completely on a wire rack.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks soften and begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle half of the cheese over the bottom of the tart shell, top with cooked leek mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheese. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, yolk, milk, cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour mixture over leeks and cheese. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes before serving, or serve at room temperature.
