Apple Raisin Quiche Recipes

APPLE RAISIN QUICHE

Steps:

• Fit pie pastry into a pie dish. Prick the bottom all over with a fork. Line with pie weights (or a piece of foil, then fill the foil with beans or rice). Bake at 400 degrees for 6 minutes. Remove foil or weights and bake for 10 minutes longer.
• Combine raisins, cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Arrange half of the apples in the pie crust. Cover with half of the raisin mixture. Repeat layers.
• Beat eggs with cream in a medium bowl. Pour over fruit layers. Top with cheese. Bake for 1 hour until top is browned and apples are tender. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.

TART APPLE QUICHE WITH RAISINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out pastry and line 2 10-inch springform quiche pans, approximately 3/4 inch high, or line 10 small individual quiche pans. Prick pastry, bottom and sides, and line with foil or wax paper. Fill with beans or rice to weight the crust and bake 12 minutes. (If using individual quiche pans, place them on a cookie sheet to make them easier to handle.) Remove weights and linings and return to the oven for 4 or 5 minutes more, or until bottoms have begun to color. Set aside to cool. This step may be done ahead of time.
• Peel and core apple. Peel onion. Process apple and onion together in food processor until they are minced. Cover bottom of each shell with a thin coating of apple and onion mixture.
• Divide raisins and cashew pieces among the shells, followed by a sprinkling of the sage and thyme leaves. Generously grate nutmeg and grind pepper over each, using more nutmeg than pepper.
• Process the cheese in a food processor until it is the consistency of fine crumbs. Fill each quiche with cheese and pat it into place.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix sherry, eggs and half-and-half in a bowl. Beat well to combine. Carefully pour egg mixture into each tart until surface of cheese is moist but tart is not overflowing. (If there is liquid left over, save for an omelet.) Place quiches on a cookie sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are puffed and brown. Larger quiches will take longer than smaller ones. Serve immediately.
