QUICHE VALERIE (VALERIE BERTINELLI) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Watch how to make this recipe. For mom's flaky pie dough: Combine the flour, butter, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until the chunks are pea-sized. Add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough just begins to clump together against the walls of the processor. Dump the dough out onto a work surface and press together to make a cohesive ball, kneading once or twice if it is falling apart. Divide the dough in half, wrap 1 portion in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling out. (This recipe makes a double portion of dough; if you are only using 1 portion, wrap the other half in 2 layers of plastic wrap, place in a resealable plastic bag and freeze for another use.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a well-floured surface and using a well-floured rolling pin, roll out the pie dough into a 9- to 10-inch round. Lightly flour the pin as needed to prevent sticking; if the dough tends to stay sticky while rolling, refrigerate it until firm and begin again. Use a large flat spatula or bench scraper to transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and press into shape using a fork. Place a sheet of parchment paper or foil into the pie shell and fill with pie weights, uncooked rice or dried beans. Bake until the edges are lightly golden, about 25 minutes. Remove the pie crust but keep the oven on. For the quiche: While the crust is baking, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until well browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Then add in the mixed veggies to cook out any excess water and wilt the spinach leaves. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cream, parsley, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large bowl and lightly whisk. Sprinkle half of the Gruyere, Cheddar and Parmigiano-Reggiano on the crust, followed by the veggie mixture and then the remaining cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top and bake until set, about 35 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve. Cook's Notes: This recipe makes a double portion of dough. If you only need enough dough for a single crust, wrap the extra ball of dough in two layers of plastic wrap, place in a resealable plastic bag and freeze for another use.

QUICK FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE WITH STRAWBERRY LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• For the French toast casserole: Set a trivet in a 6- to 8-quart Instant Pot® and add 1 cup water to the pot. Spray a 6-inch springform pan or 7-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and eggs in a medium bowl. Add the half-and-half and whisk to combine well.
• Press the bread into a large bowl, then pour the custard mixture all over. Press the bread firmly to submerge. Stir with a spoon, then pour the bread and custard mixture into the prepared cake pan. Place the pan on the trivet in the Instant Pot® and pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. Release the valve to depressurize the pot, then remove the pan. Let stand 10 minutes before either removing the sides of the springform pan or inverting the casserole onto a platter. Serve warm or at room temperature with the strawberry lemon sauce.
• For the strawberry lemon sauce: Put the strawberries in a medium saucepan and toss them with the cornstarch. Add the maple syrup and lemon juice (reserve the zest). Bring to a brisk simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the temperature to keep it at a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are somewhat broken down and the liquid is thick and syrupy, about 12 minutes. Add the lemon zest. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHERRY PEACH PANTRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet or large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and lay the round of pie crust on top.
• Toss the peaches and cherries with the cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl until well combined. Mound the fruit mixture in the center of the dough round and spread slightly, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold the edges over the fruit, pleating as necessary. Whisk the egg and mix with a tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash on the exposed crust. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon sugar over the top of the fruit. Bake until the crust is golden brown all over and the fruit juices are thick and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.
