COUNTRY QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Then remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the baking powder, tomatoes and eggs together. Add the cooked sausage and the cheese to the egg mixture and stir together with a large spoon. Add salt and pepper and divide the mixture between both unbaked pie shells. Bake until the filling is set, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SAVORY 3-CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degree F.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the bottom of the pie shell, then evenly distribute the onion, broccoli, and mushroom over the cheese layer. Mix the eggs and the spices together in a bowl. Add the milk and half-and-half and mix well. Pour over contents in the pie shell.
• Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and place, cut side up, in a ring on top of the mixture. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of Romano over top. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 300 degrees F and bake an additional 45 to 55 minutes or until cake tester inserted in middle comes out clean.
• Blend together with pastry blender until crumbly (like coarse cornmeal). Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until mixture will hold together. Handle as little possible. Wrap in plastic wrap in a "patty" and chill for at least an hour. Roll out between Saran Wrap with very little flour. Place carefully in a pie plate, being careful not to stretch dough. Trim the edges.

SAVOURY PASTRY CRUST FOR QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/400°F.
• Sift the flour,salt and garlic powder into a mixing bowl.
• Add the parsley and seeds and stir to combine with a fork.
• Using a pastry blender (or your fingers) cut in the lard and butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Sprinkle in the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing lightly with your fingertips or a fork until the dough forms a ball.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface.
• Place it carefully into a 10-inch quiche dish or loose-bottomed tart pan, easing the pastry in and being careful to to stretch it.
• I prefer to leave the excess dough and not trim it until after it's baked to allow for any shrinkage, but that is up to you.
• Line the pastry case with greaseproof paper and weigh it down with pastry weights or dried beans.
• Bake 10 minutes.
• Remove the paper and weights and return to oven.
• Bake an additional 5 minutes until the pastry is set and beige in color.
• Use the flat side of a palette knife to press down on the edge of the tart pan to remove the excess crust. (This is the part that I eat!).
• Remove to cooling rack until ready to fill.
