COWBOY QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll out the pie dough on a floured surface. Gently lay it in a deep-dish pie pan and press it into the grooves of the pan. Cut off the excess. Set aside.
• Chop up the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
• Fry the onions in the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat until deep golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the eggs, cream and some salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the bacon, onions and cheese and stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Cover lightly with aluminium foil, place on a sheet pan and bake for 45 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
• Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Fit for a king or a cowboy.
• Lightly mix 2 cups of the flour with the salt and sugar in a mixing bowl or a food processor. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or by pulsing the food processor. (The mixture should look like large crumbs and begin to cling together in clumps.)
• Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour and mix lightly or pulse two or three times so as not to overmix the flour. Tip into a bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cold water over the dough and mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until the dough holds together. Shape the dough into two discs.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to use. It can also be frozen for up to 6 months.

COWGIRL QUICHE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. FOR THE CHIVE CRUST: Lightly mix 2 cups of the flour with chives and salt in a mixing bowl or in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or by pulsing the food processor. The mixture should look like large crumbs and begin to cling together in clumps. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour and mix lightly or pulse the processor 2-3 times. Do not over-mix this flour; it should coat the clumps. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cold water over the dough and with your hands or a wooden spoon, mix until the dough holds together, then shape into 2 discs. (You'll only be using 1 disc for this recipe. You can wrap the additional dough in plastic wrap for storage; it will keep up to a week in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer) Have ready 2 sheets of parchment paper that are each at least 12" square. Place one disc of dough between them. (If the dough is sticky for any reason, don't worry. Just sprinkle some flour on the parchment to get started. You shouldn't have to add much for it to stop sticking.) Starting at the center, roll the pin out to the edge. Turn the dough and parchment as necessary and continue rolling, always from the center to the outer edge. After a couple of rolls, lift the parchment paper away from the dough to loosen and then replace the parchment. Flip the whole thing and loosen the other paper sheet. Continue rolling until the dough is large enough for your pie pan. FOR THE FILLING: Slice leeks thinly, and then soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove any grit or dirt. Drain well. Put mushrooms on a large baking sheet. Roast until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over med-heat, sauté leeks in the butter until golden brown and beginning to caramelize, 8-10 minutes. Set aside. For the quiche base, add the cream and eggs to a medium bowl and whisk them to combine. Stir in leeks, mushrooms, grated cheese and some salt and pepper. Mix in the pesto and prosciutto. The mixture should be very thick! Pour mixture into the pie shell, then cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent it from getting too brown on top. Bake 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to sit at least 10 minutes before serving. Place quiche on a cutting board and slice wedges with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• For the chive pie crust: Mix the flour, chives and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and vegetable shortening and work them into the flour using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. Using a fork, stir in the vinegar, beaten egg and 5 tablespoons cold water. Stir the mixture until just combined. Shape the dough into 2 discs. (You'll only be using 1 disc for this recipe. You can wrap the additional dough in plastic wrap for storage; it will keep up to a week in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer.)
• Have ready 2 sheets of parchment paper that are each at least 12 inches square. Place the disc of dough between them. (If the dough is sticky for any reason, don't worry. Just sprinkle some flour on the parchment to get started. You shouldn't have to add much for it to stop sticking.) Starting at the center, roll the pin out to the edge. Turn the dough and parchment as necessary and continue rolling, always from the center to the outer edge. After a couple of rolls, lift the parchment paper away from the dough to loosen and replace the parchment. Flip the whole thing and loosen the other paper sheet. Continue rolling until the dough is large enough for your pie pan.
• For the filling: Slice the leeks thinly, and then soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove any grit or dirt. Drain well.
• Put the mushrooms on a large baking sheet. Roast until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, saute the leeks in the butter until golden brown and beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
• For the quiche base, add the cream and eggs to a medium bowl and whisk them to combine. Stir in the leeks, mushrooms, grated Swiss and some salt and pepper. Mix in the pesto and prosciutto. The mixture should be very thick!
• Pour the mixture into the pie shell, then cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent it from getting too brown on top.

Steps:

• Fry the onions in the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat for at least 15 to 20 minutes (maybe longer), stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown. Set aside to cool.
• Fry the bacon until chewy. Chop into large bite-sized pieces and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pie crust and press it into a large fluted deep tart pan (or a deep dish pie pan).
• Whip the eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl, then mix in the onions, bacon, and cheese. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
• Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil, and bake it for about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown. (The quiche will still seem slightly loose, but will continue to set once remove from the oven.).
• Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. If using a tart pan, remove the quiche from the pan, cut into slices with a sharp serrated knife, and serve!
