Favorite quiche recipe
Comments (20)I have made canarybird's Salmon quiche in a walnut crust and can tell you that it is absolutely delicious. Here is another favorite of mine: Crab Quiche For pastry 1-1/4 cups AP flour 3/4 stick cold unsalted butter cut into small chunks 2 Tbs. cold vegetable shortening 1/4 tsp salt 3-4 Tbs. ice water For Filling 1 lb. crabmeat ( I buy a can at Trader Joe's) 4 large eggs 2 cups heavy cream 2 Tbs finely chopped fresh parsley 2 Tbs finely chopped fresh chives 2 Tbs finely chopped fresh cilantro 1/2 tsp seafood seasoning 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (I don't use the nutmeg) 2 oz. coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese (1/2 cup) 2 oz. coarsely grated Swiss cheese (1/2 cup) Make pastry: Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until most of the mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 2 Tbs. ice water and gently stir with a fork until incorporated, Squeeze a small handful. If it does not hold together, add more ice sater, 1/2 Tbs at a time. Do not ovework your dough, though or it will be tough. Turn out the mixture onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With the heal of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together and press into a ball, then flatten into a 4" disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least one hour. Roll out dough into a 12" round on a lightly foured surface with a floured rolling pin and fit into a pie plate. Trim excess dough leaving a 1/2" overhang, then fold overhang under pastry and press against the rim of the pie plate to reinforce edge. Decoratively crimp edge and lightly prick bottom and side of shell with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375. Line shell with foil and fill with pie weight (I use black hard beans). Bake until pastry is golden along rim and set underneath the foil, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until bottom and sides are pale golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool completely. Make filling: Whisk together cream, eggs, herbs, seafood seasoning, salt, pepper and nutmeg (if using) then stir in cheeses and crabmeat. Por into prebaked crust and bake until filling puffs and is no longer wobbly in center when quiche is gently shaken, 40-50 minutes. Cool in pie plate on rack 15 minutes. I also frequently add a little lemon juice and some red pepper or hot sauce to give it a little more bite. Serves 8. Gourmet September 2004...See MoreHelp me create Chile Rellenos Quiche recipe!!!
Comments (2)This recipe might be a good starting point for you. I've not made it, but it sounds like it might give you the type of filling you are looking for - and use 1/2 cup egg substitute for the eggs.

Comments (1)This looks like a double post, for some reason, there are replies to the other identical post, so I'll just bump this one down and eeryone can, if they'd be so kind, post to the other. Annie...See MoreLOOKING for: Chile Rellenos Quiche
Comments (0)I am trying to create an "authentic" chile rellenos quiche recipe where you actually wrap a chunk of Jack cheese inside a whole (canned) chile then arrange the stuffed chiles in a pie crust in such a way that each slice of pie will contain one stuffed chile. I would like to use egg substitute in the custard--but how much?? And do I used half and half, ricotta or cottage cheese in the custard?? Does anyone have any great ideas as I try to formulate this recipe for Easter brunch....See More- 6 years ago
