Ina Garten Broccoli Quiche Food

BROCCOLI RABE WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Cut off and discard the tough ends of the broccoli rabe and cut the rest of into 2-inch pieces. Place the broccoli in a colander and rinse. Drain well. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Add the broccoli to the hot oil. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and cook, covered, over medium to low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the stalks are tender but still al dente. Add the reserved garlic, check the seasonings, and serve hot.

BRIE AND BROCCOLI QUICHE

Steps:

• Fry the onions in the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes (maybe longer). Set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli in the boiling water for 1 minute, then remove it to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Remove it from the water to drain.
• Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and press into a deep fluted tart pan with a removable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Lay the onions over the base of the crust, then lay the brocolli pieces on top of the onions. Chop the Brie and lay that in the crust too.
• Whip the half-and-half, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl, then pour it into the crust. Sprinkle the chives on top.
• Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. (The quiche will still seem slightly loose, but will continue to set once removed from the oven.) Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then, if using a tart pan, remove the quiche from the pan. Cut into slices with a sharp serrated knife and serve.
• Put the flour in a large bowl. With a pastry cutter, gradually work the shortening and butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork and pour it into the flour mixture. Add the cold water, white vinegar and salt. Stir gently to combine.
• Form the dough into 2 evenly sized balls and place each ball into a gallon food storage bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using them immediately, it's still a good idea to put them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes.

HAM AND GRUYERE QUICHE

Steps:

• Set a baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat to 425 degrees F. Scatter the ham and cheese in the pie crust. Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; pour into the crust. Transfer to the hot baking sheet and bake until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Add the greens and mushrooms; toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the quiche into wedges and serve with the salad.

PARMESAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI(INA GARTEN)

Steps:

• Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks.
• Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets.
• Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer.
• Toss the garlic over the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Roast at 400*F. (Ina originaly baked at 425*) for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
• Serve and enjoy!
• Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 11/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove and discard the bottom half of the broccolini stems. Cut the broccolini stems in half or quarters lengthwise, depending on the size of the stems. Don't cut the florets--just pull them apart. Place the broccolini on a sheet pan. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil on the broccolini and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, making sure the broccolini is lightly coated with oil. Spread the broccolini in one layer and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing once with a metal spatula, until crisp-tender.
• Meanwhile, slice the Cheddar 1/4-inch thick and break it into large crumbles. When the broccolini is ready, sprinkle the cheese on the broccolini and return to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese just melts. Squeeze on the lemon juice, taste for seasonings, and serve hot.

INA GARTEN'S QUICHE

Steps:

• Pulse the flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the flour looks like cornmeal.
• Next, sprinkle in 3 tbsp of ice water and start pulsing until your dough begins to come together.
• Now, pinch the dough with your fingers to make sure it holds together. If it doesn't, add up to 2 tbsp of ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, and pulse the mixture again.
• Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and pat it into a disc before wrapping it tightly and placing it in the fridge until firm. Allow it to sit for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• Roll the dough into an 11-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick, on a lightly floured working surface.
• Line a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with the dough, leaving an even overhang of dough all around.
• Press the dough into the edges of the pan and the fluted sides. Then, roll a rolling pin over the top to cut off the excess dough. Discard the excess dough.
• Prick the bottom all over with the use of a fork, and let it chill for about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Press a piece of parchment over your chilled crust and then fill the crust with either pie weights, raw beans, or rice. Put the pan on a baking sheet.
• Bake the crust for about 40 minutes until it turns golden around the edges.
• When it's done, carefully remove the parchment and weights; return the crust to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes until the crust is dry and slightly golden.
• Allow the crust to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
• In a medium skillet, combine the butter with the onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup water.
• Cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the onions are completely softened and all the water has evaporated.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate medium skillet set over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp.
• When the onion is cooked, add the bacon to it using a slotted spoon. Then, stir in 1 tsp thyme and 1/2 tsp pepper.
• Now, you spread the onion mixture on the bottom of the crust and sprinkle the top with the Gruyere.
• Next, in a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the eggs and 1/2 tsp salt until well combined.
• Pour the cream mixture over the filling in the crust and top it with the remaining 1 tsp thyme.
• Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until set and golden, about 30 minutes.
• Make sure to let the quiche cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
