Zucchini And Tomato Quiche Recipes

ZUCCHINI TOMATO QUICHE

Steps:

• Pre-bake the crust: Heat oven to 350°F. If using a homemade pie crust, freeze it for at least 30 minutes. Line the inside of the crust with heavy duty aluminum foil. Fill the pie crust to the top with pie weights-either sugar, dry rice, or dry beans. (I prefer to use sugar). Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven, remove foil and pie weights from crust. (See my detailed instructions on blind baking a crust .) Note: If you're using a store-bought crust, you can defrost it and skip the pre-baking, or partially-pre-bake it using the instructions for pre-baking on the package.
• Bake: Bake for 45 to 55 minutes at 350°F, until set in the center. If the edges of the crust look like they might get a too browned, tent them with foil or a pie protector. Note that if you are using a store-bought crust that is more shallow than a homemade crust, the quiche will cook more quickly. Remove from oven when the center of the quiche has set and the top is lightly browned. Let it cool completely before serving.

TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI QUICHE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder and thyme until combined. Cut the butter into small pieces above the bowl, stopping to stir and coat the butter bits in the flour mixture every few minutes.
• Pinch the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles the texture of damp sand. Add the water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing it with a fork, until the dough just holds together when you squeeze a fistful of it in your hand.
• Combine the mixture into a ball.
• Roll out the dough until it is 1/8-inch thick and transfer it to a 10-inch pie dish. Press the crust into the pan, trim off the excess leaving a 1-inch overhang, and reserve the excess dough. Fold the 1-inch overhang under the edge of the crust all the way around and pinch the edges.
• Roll out the remaining dough until it is 1/8-inch thick and cut out any decorative shapes you want to place along the edge of the crust (Optional).
• In a small bowl whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Lightly brush the edges of the pie crust and place the decorative pieces along the edge, pressing down gently to adhere them with the egg wash. Lightly brush the decorative pieces with the wash.
• Gently cover the pie crust with wrap and place it in the freezer for 2 hours.
• For the filling, heat the olive oil over medium low heat in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and stir to coat, and cook until lightly golden and transparent, about 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the green onions, garlic, and soy sauce and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 to 8 minutes more, stirring often. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, ricotta, milk, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme until smooth.
• Remove the crust from the freezer and remove the wrap. Place the pie pan on a lipped baking sheet (this will make it easier to put it in the oven). Spread the caramelized onion mixture across the bottom of the crust, then gently pour in the egg mixture. Arrange the sliced zucchini and tomatoes on top in layered concentric circles, with the wider zucchini and tomato slices around the outer edge.
• Sprinkle the quiche with parmesan and bake in the oven until the edges are set but the center is *very* slightly wobbly, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the pie dish to a wire rack, and allow it to cool for at 30 minutes. Garnish with the fresh basil and slice and serve.

EASY ZUCCHINI, TOMATO, AND CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Remove the puff pastry from the package and let thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until no longer frozen but still cool.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook 5 minutes, or until the onion is slightly tender. Stir in the zucchini and saute just until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Mix in the drained tomatoes and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy and the juices have evaporated. Let cool.
• Lightly butter a dark-colored 9-inch tart pan with a removable rim or a glass pie plate. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into an 11-inch square. Fit it into the tart pan or pie plate. Trim off the overhanging pieces of pastry with scissors. Refrigerate the crust, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours, covered.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and cooled vegetables. Spoon the mixture into the tart pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is brown and a knife inserted in the center of the tart comes out clean. Remove the outer rim of the tart pan. Let the tart cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before slicing. It is best to serve this tart very warm rather than piping hot.

• To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Wrap the remaining half of the dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish. Keep the pie shell close by, as you will add ingredients one at a time.
• To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the onions, zucchini, and bell pepper, if using, and sauté until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Spread the sautéed onions, zucchini, and bell pepper across the bottom of the pie shell.
• Sprinkle the tomatoes over the vegetables. Evenly distribute the cheese of your choice over the tomatoes.
• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, combine the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell, covering the vegetables, tomatoes, and cheese layers.
• To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is firm in the middle. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the quiche to cool and set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
• Cooked Zucchini and Tomato Quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. An uncooked quiche can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To optimally keep quiche, put it in the freezer uncovered and let it freeze on a flat surface. Once the quiche has frozen, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and return it to the freezer.
