How do you make a quiche?

Question

i have the case already so what do i need to make the filling? I'm just doing a simple ham and cheese, whats the recipe? if you can suggest anything to go in with it or on the side that would be great. thanks.

Answer 1

I think my recipe called for:

8 eggs

1 cup swiss cheese shredded

1 onion minced

1\4 cup bacon - well done and crumbled

1/2 bag cooked chopped spinach

frozen pie crust

line bottom of pie crust with bacon and cheese

mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour over the top

450 degrees until the middle is solid.

Great recipe and have had requests for it.  My neighbor gave me a dozen eggs and just started laughing......   LOL

Answer 2

Prebake the crust according to package directions or if you made it from scratch bake it for 6-10 min at 425 until slightly golden brown.  (You may need to use dried beans or a pie weight to keep the crust from rising.) Reduce the temp to 325.

Filling:

4 eggs

2 cups cream (or half and half if you want to cut fat)

1/4 tsp pepper

1/8 tsp cayenne

1/4 tsp salt (you don't need it since the cheese and ham will have plenty)

dash of nutmeg

4-6 oz grated cheese ( I prefer swiss but any grated cheese or a mixture of several types will do)

1/2-1 cup of coarsely chopped ham (or 8 slices of bacon, crumbled)

**************************************...

Optional:

1/3 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped mushrooms

**************************************...

Beat (slightly) the eggs and mix together with the cream. Mix in all of the spices EXCEPT the nutmeg.  Add the ham and cheese (and onion/mushrooms to taste).  Pour the mixture into your pie crust.  Sprinkle the dash of nutmeg on the top.  Bake at 325 for 35-50 min or until a knife comes out clean.  Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Remember to refridgerate the quiche asap as you do not want the eggs/cream to start to spoil.



Enjoy!

Answer 3

Without knowing the size of your shell, all I can offer is to do it by eye, arrange diced ham and cheese on the base.

Pour over whisked eggs, garnish with slices of tomato.

(if you have leftover egg, scramble them, as a side)

Bake at 200C for about 30-40 minutes until the egg in the centre is set. Again the size has yo  be taken into account.

Ham and Cheese Quiche

Makes 8 servings.

Pastry

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon chilled solid vegetable shortening

2 tablespoons cold water

Filling

2 tablespoons butter

1 onion, finely chopped

1 1/2 cups (16 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese

1 cup chopped cooked ham

2 large eggs

2 large egg yolks

1/2 cup half-and-half

1/2 cup heavy cream

Pinch of salt

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch of ground nutmeg

To prepare pastry, in a medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut shortening into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.

Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until a dough forms. Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.

On a floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 10-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch quiche or pie pan. Trim edges.

To prepare filling, in a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cheese over crust. Top with onion, then ham. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, cream, salt, cayenne and nutmeg. Pour egg mixture over ham and cheese.

Bake quiche until golden and custard is set, 35 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
