Crustless Onion And Gruyere Quiche Food

CRUSTLESS ONION AND GRUYERE QUICHE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add onions.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray pie dish with non stick spray. Set aside.
• Caramelize onions by stirring every few minutes. If they start burning, turn down the heat and stir more often. Keep cooking until soft and golden. About 20 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, spices, 1/2 the cheese and heavy cream.
• Place onions in the bottom of the pie dish. Pour egg mixture on top.
• Add remaining cheese around the outer edge of the pie dish. If you put it in the middle, it'll keep the quiche from rising in the center.
• Bake on center rack for 30-35 minutes or until center is just set.
• Allow to cool 5 minutes, then dish and serve. Top it off with fresh arugula and watered down sour cream (so it drizzles, rather than dollops).

CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM AND GRUYERE QUICHE WITH OAT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• To prepare the crust, put the oats, flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 3 times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, until you get a pebbly course texture. Add the buttermilk and pulse 3 to 5 times more to combine. Form the mixture into a ball and place it between 2 large pieces of waxed paper. Roll out into a circle about 10 inches in diameter.
• Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. Transfer the crust, still on the other piece of waxed paper to the pie dish, then remove the waxed paper from the top. Press the crust gently into the dish. Bake for 9 minutes, then let cool.
• To prepare the filling, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their water and begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the onions back to the pan, stir in the salt, pepper, mustard and thyme.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites and evaporated milk.
• Sprinkle the cheese into the pie crust. Top with the mushroom-onion mixture and pour the egg mixture on top. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 35 minutes or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into 6 wedges and serving.
