Savory Croissant Quiche Recipes

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.
