MINI QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add flour and salt to a food processor and pulse. Then add the butter, a little at a time, pulsing until a coarse meal forms.
• Then measure out the water, add ice cubes to it. Then pour this water into another Pyrex pitcher, straining the ice. This will give you very cold water. Add the egg yolks and whisk to combine. Then slowly add the yolk mixture to the food processor pulsing all the while until the dough forms into a ball.
• Transfer to a floured surface, press down into a disc and wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or overnight.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface, to ¼ " (6mm) thickness. Place tins upside down on the dough and cut out a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than tin. Fit dough into 4" mini quiche tins with removable bottoms, pressing it down, and then pushing dough past the fluting to rip off naturally. Continue to fit the dough in tins, then trim edges with a sharp knife. Repeat the process until all tins are prepped with the dough. Place tins on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
• Meanwhile, mix together the egg filling. In a medium-size bowl or a Pyrex, pitcher crack in 8 eggs and beat together. Then add the heavy cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Slice the leeks, white parts only, into circles. Sautee in olive oil until fragrant and crispy. Allow to cool.
• Then prepare all the fillings and have everything measured out and ready to go.
• Remove Quiche tin from the freezer and sprinkle a little of the cornstarch in the bottom of each pastry shell and brush to distribute with a pastry brush.
• For each pastry add the cheese first. On the bottom.
• Add the custard to each pastry shell with a Turkey Baster. Allows for excellent filling precision! Only fill ¾ of the way full. Top with the various fillings.
• Bake at 350F (175C) for 30 minutes then increase to 375F (190C) and bake for 5-7 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
• Allow to cool slightly. Remove from tins and serve immediately or. Place cooled quiche on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil. Pop in the fridge. And then reheat when ready to serve at 350F (175C) for 15 minutes.
• To serve place quiche across 2 square plates with a little pound of parsley, microgreens or watercress in the center of a plate.

PAIGE'S QUICHE

Steps:

• Set a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Fry the onions in the skillet, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add the red and green bell peppers and continue to cook until the onions are deep golden brown, at least another 5 to 10 minutes (maybe longer). Set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and press it into a large, fluted, deep tart pan (or a deep-dish pie pan).
• Whip the cream, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl, then mix in the cheese, ham and onion-pepper mixture. Pour into the pie crust.
• Put 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, 10 to 15 minutes longer. (The quiche will still seem slightly loose, but will continue to set once removed from the oven.) Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting.
• If using a tart pan, remove the quiche from the pan. Cut into slices with a sharp serrated knife and serve!
• In a large bowl, gradually work the shortening and butter into the flour with a pastry cutter until it resembles a coarse meal, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork and pour it into the flour/shortening mixture. Add the cold water, white vinegar and salt. Stir together gently until the ingredients are incorporated.
• Separate the dough into 2 pieces and place each piece into a large ziptop bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough into a disc (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 the dough immediately, it's still a good idea to put it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.
• The dough can be wrapped in plastic wrap for storage; it will keep up to a week in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer.
