Herbed Skillet Quiche Food

CHEESE AND FRESH HERB QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate; flute edge. Sprinkle cheeses into crust. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and cream until blended. Stir in herbs; pour over top., Bake on a lower oven rack 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

FRESH HERBS QUICHE

Steps:

• Crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together egg and yolk with ice water. Add to flour mixture and pulse until moist crumbs start to form (no longer). Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and, using wrap and your hands, form into a disk (or 2 disks, if making 2 quiches in pie plates). Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Let sit at room temperature until pliable, then roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch springform pan, folding and pressing sides to an even thickness. (Or roll out 2 disks to 11-inch rounds and fit into 8- or 9-inch pie plates.)
• Trim edge of dough flush with top of springform pan. (If using pie plates, fold edges of dough under; crimp as desired.) Wrap in plastic; freeze at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake, with a baking sheet on rack below, 20 minutes; remove paper and beans. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes (8 to 10 minutes, for pie plates). Let cool.
• Reduce oven to 375 degrees. Whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in remaining ingredients until well combined.
• Pour custard mixture into cooled crust, stopping just short of top (if making in 2 pie plates, divide evenly between crusts). You may not need to use all of custard; be careful not to overfill.
• Arrange herb sprigs on top. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then about 55 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool about 1 hour before serving.

SKILLET QUICHE

Steps:

• In a metal handled skillet, fry the bacon pieces with the diced onion, minced garlic, and mushrooms.
• While that is cooking, mix the eggs, cubes of velveeta cheese, salt and pepper.
• Add the diced tomato to the skillet when the onions are starting to carmelize and stir. Let it saute another minute or two.
• Add the egg mixture to the skillet, stir and let cook until the edges are puffy. The center will look a little wet still.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheddar on top of the partially cooked eggs, and add extra sliced mushrooms on top.
• Put the skillet into the oven on broil until the edges are slightly brown and the center is no longer 'wet'. I left mine in a little longer than it needed because I really like the toasty edges.
• Cut into wedges.

HERB AND MUSHROOM QUICHE - FROM GET CRACKING!

Steps:

• Stir in seasonings and set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk eggs and cream until well combined. Stir in the mushroom mixture, cheeses and parsley.
