Copper King Cheese And Bacon Quiche Recipes

COPPER MOUNTAIN QUICHE

Steps:

• Combine the butter, cream cheese, and 1 cup of the flour in a small bowl. Mix with a pastry blender or fork, cutting the butter and cream cheese into the flour until a consistently crumbly mixture is formed.
• Place the flour mixture in a 10" pie plate or quiche pan, and press evenly to form a crust. Refrigerate. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
• Cook the spinach in a pot of lightly salted boiling water, drain well, and chop. Drain the spinach again on paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
• In a large bowl, combine the spinach with the two tablespoons flour. Add the cheddar and Swiss cheeses, eggs, mayonnaise, milk, bacon bits or crumbled bacon, mushrooms, and green onions.
• Pour the mixture into the chilled pastry shell and bake for 1 hour, or until set. Serve warm.

BACON-CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Add onion, bacon, and cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

COPPER KING CHEESE AND BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Crust: In medium bowl, sift flour and salt; cut in margarine until crumbly. Gather into ball using water to make crumbly dough stick together. Roll between 2 squares of waxed paper to a round that will line a pie pan completely, or line a spring form pan within 1/2 inch of edge. Filling: Combine bacon, cheese, and onion; place in pastry-lined pie pan or spring form pan. Beat eggs lightly and add remaining ingredients. Beat until well blended. Pour egg mixture over other contents. Bake at 350° for 1 hour; test. If quiche is still soft in middle, add 15 minutes baking time, or bake until tester comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes and cut into wedges. Serve with fruit. Fun Fact: As telephone, telegraph, and electrical wire was strewn throughout the country at the end of the 19th century, huge copper mines in the area around Anaconda, Montana (near Butte), provided the necessary materials to build these lines. Marcus Daly, founder of Anaconda, built his own copper smelter just outside of town, which attracted thousands of workers from around the world. The Anaconda Stack, over 585 feet high and 75 feet interior diameter, is one of the tallest freestanding brick structures in the world and the only remnant of the huge copper smelting plant. The site is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
