Easy Egg Pie Recipes

QUICHE (SOUTHERN EGG PIE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft. Add sausage, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, Ranch dressing and milk. Stir in shredded cheese. Season with hot sauce, salt, pepper and sugar.
• Spread sausage mixture in the bottom of crust. Cover with egg mixture, and shake lightly to remove air, and to level contents.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown. Remove from oven, prick top with a knife, and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

BIG MAMA'S EGG PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the Crust: Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl to combine. Add butter. Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour mixture until various-size crumbs form. Slowly add water, mixing with hands until dough forms, adding more water if needed until dough just comes together (there may still be some dry flour in bowl). Shape dough into a ball. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap; chill until cold, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Prepare the Filling: Cook milk and butter in a saucepan over medium-low, undisturbed, 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, 45 minutes.
• Whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Whisk in cooled milk mixture. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Unwrap chilled dough; place on a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out to ¼-inch thickness. Transfer to an ungreased freezer-safe 9-inch pie plate. Press dough into bottom and up sides of plate. Crimp edges. Freeze Crust 10 minutes.
• Remove Crust from freezer. Line with parchment paper; add pie weights. Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Remove Crust from oven; remove weights and parchment. Cool 10 minutes.
• Pour Filling into Crust. Bake at 325°F until top of pie is lightly browned and center jiggles just slightly, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool completely, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg, and serve.

EASY EGG PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt just until combined. Add the chilled pieces of cubed butter and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter. The mixture should look like a coarse meal with some bits of flat pieces of butter still visible.
• Add ice water and continue to incorporate the ingredients using the pastry cutter until big clumps start to form. The dough should now come together when pressed with your fingers. If the dough is still too dry, or if some flour are still loose and not incorporating, add more ice water, about a teaspoon at a time just until the dough is forming together when pressed. The dough should not be really wet to the touch. Instead, it should just be moist enough to cling together when pressed with your fingers.
• Turn the dough over on a floured surface. Gather any loose crumbs and divide the dough into two equally sized balls. Flatten each slightly to form discs. Wrap them individually in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight. You can freeze one portion at this point for up to a month.
• Flour a working surface. Let the dough rest for about 3- 5 minutes. Roll the dough into 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness. Flour your surface and your rolling pin as needed to avoid the dough from sticking. Gently lift the dough by wrapping it into the rolling pin and lower it down into your pie plate, centered. Ease the dough into the edges of the pie plate. Cut the excess dough hanging on the sides and decorate the edge of the dough by making crimples with your fingers. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
• Place your rack in the lowest position of your oven. Preheat oven to 425 F. Combine and whisk together the beaten eggs and sugar in a medium bowl that has a spout. Add the milk, salt and vanilla extract and whisk all ingredients until smooth and incorporated.
• Brush the base of your pie crust with egg whites to prevent it from being soggy. Using the tines of a fork, prick several holes over the surface of your pie crust but not all the way to the bottom. Set the pie plate on a baking pan and place in the lowest rack of the preheated oven.
• Carefully pour the filling into the pie shell. Close the oven door and bake the pie for 15 minutes at 425 F. Then lower the temperature to 400 F and bake for another 25-30 minutes. The pie should be set on the sides but is a bit jiggly in the middle. This will set fully from the residual heat as it cools. Let the pie rest in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before cutting.

RIVIERA EGG PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent and just golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool while preparing crust.
• Remove 1 of the prepared pie crusts from the refrigerator, and place in an ungreased, 9-inch pie plate. Shape the crust to fit the form of the pan with a 1/2-inch overlap around the edge.
• To the onion mixture, add the ham, spinach, cheeses, 4 eggs plus 1 yolk, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Spread mixture into prepared crust. Cover with remaining pie crust; crimp edges and score to vent. Brush with egg white and bake until golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand at least 15 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

MINI EGG PIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F).
• Using a cup or mug with roughly the same diameter as the bottoms of your muffin tin, cut out 3 circles of puff pastry dough. Make sure you cut the circles out as closely as possible to save dough.
• With the remaining dough, cut out strips to wrap around the inside of the muffin tin cups. The strips should be about three centimeters (1 inch) wider than the depth of the muffin tin cups.
• Rub oil in the bottom of 3 to 4 cups in the center of your muffin tin. Place the puff pastry dough circles at the bottom of the cups, then wrap the dough strips along the walls of the cups.
• NOTE: The dough strips should come up a couple of centimeters (about an inch) taller than the wall of each muffin tin cup.
• Using your fingers, pinch and press the beginning and end of the strips together and then press the edges of the strips down near the edges of the circles to create one cohesive dough cup.
• Crack one egg into each dough cup and then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Working carefully, pinch small sections of the tops of each dough wall together, crimping around the edge so that you bend the dough closer to the center and make five crimped crests on the top of each pie. You want to build a top to the pies but there will still be a circle in the middle with exposed egg.
• Place the muffin tin on a center rack in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the egg looks set. Remove from muffin tin.
• Enjoy!
