PEPPER AND ONION QUICHE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a 12 1/2- to 13-inch round. Fit the dough into a 9- 1/2-to 10-inch tart pan and trim the dough so that it comes slightly above the rim of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
• In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the pepper strips and onion, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Set the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks to combine. Add the milk, the cream, and half of the basil, and whisk to blend. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the crumbled feta. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg.
• Place the chilled tart shell on a baking sheet. Spread the pepper-onion mixture over the bottom. Place the baking sheet in the oven and carefully and very slowly pour in the custard mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup crumbled feta.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the custard is just set 35 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Garnish with the remaining basil.
• Cut the quiche into wedges and serve warm.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPER QUICHE

Steps:

• Spray a glass 9-inch square baking dish with a nonstick cooking spray.

QUICHE WITH RED PEPPERS AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic, peppers and thyme. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, then turn the heat to medium low and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until peppers are very tender and sweet.
• Turn up heat to medium-high and, a handful at a time, add spinach and stir until each handful wilts. If there is liquid remaining in the pan turn up the heat and stir while you let it cook off. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. If you are making filling a day ahead, refrigerate uncovered.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to the remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread pepper and spinach mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle in an even layer on top. Very slowly pour in the egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to avoid the custard spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
