Quiche With Brie Food

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.

MINI BRIE AND APPLE QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange phyllo shells on a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Divide apple among the shells.
• Whisk eggs, mustard, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a large measuring cup. Pour the egg mixture over the apple (do not overfill the shells). Place a Brie square in each shell.
• Bake until the egg is set, the Brie is melted and the phyllo is starting to brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

QUICHE WITH BRIE

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with the pie crust. Line the inside of the crust with crumbled wax paper or parchment paper and fill with dried beans.
• Place in oven and bake about 12-15 minutes or until partially done. Remove the beans and the paper and bake an additional 2-3 minutes to dry out the bottom.
• Preheat oven to 375F to bake the quiche.
• Using a fork, blend the cheese with the butter and cream.
• Beat in the eggs.
• Force this mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
• Stir in the chives. Taste and season with the salt, pepper and cayenne.
• Pour into the pastry, place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the quiche is puffed and browned.

ASPARAGUS BRIE QUICHE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200°C or 400°F.
• Use pastry to line a 9 inch round flan tin or dish.
• Melt butter and lightly fry the spring onions.
• Meanwhile, cut the rind from the cheese and chop into small cubes.
• Throw cheese, eggs, cream and milk into a food processor (or use a hand mixer in a bowl) and blend until smooth.
• Add nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Scatter onions on base of pastry, pour in cheese mixture and place asparagus spears in a spoke pattern on top.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until set and lightly browned.

SIMPLE BROCCOLI AND BRIE CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• Line the prepared pie dish with puff pastry, covering base and sides. Trim excess pastry. Brush bottom with Dijon mustard.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Mix in broccoli; cook 3 more minutes.
• Whisk heavy cream, eggs, salt, nutmeg, black pepper, and Italian seasoning in a bowl.
• Layer broccoli mixture over the puff pastry and top with Brie cheese slices. Pour in egg mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and golden, about 30 minutes.

BRIE AND CANADIAN BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Place Canadian bacon slices, slightly overlapping, around the side and the bottom of a 9 inch deep dish pie plate, coated with cooking spray.
• Set aside.
• Combine eggs, mayonnaise, pepper, Parmesan cheese, Brie, and Italian herb seasonings.
• Pour into pie plate over bacon and bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes.
• After 15 minutes of baking, place foil over bacon to protect it from overcooking and drying out.

SMOKED SALMON AND BRIE QUICHE

Steps:

• Bake shell according to directions and cool.
• Whisk cream, eggs and cayenne.
• Scatter onions, cheese and salmon evenly all over bottom of pie shell.
• Carefully pour in cream mixture.
• Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes in the centre of 350 oven, until set and golden.
• Cool 5 minutes before slicing.

HAM AND BRIE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Wrap the remaining half of the dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish. Keep the pie shell close by, as you will add ingredients one at a time.
• To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Spread the sautéed onions across the bottom of the pie shell.
• Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and fry the ham until it turns a golden brown. Place the ham in the pie shell on top of the onion layer, distributing it evenly. Layer the brie slices over the ham.
• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, combine the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell, covering the onions, ham, and brie.
• To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is firm in the middle. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the quiche to cool and set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
• Cooked Ham and Brie Quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. An uncooked quiche can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To optimally keep quiche, put it in the freezer uncovered and let it freeze on a flat surface. Once the quiche has frozen, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and return it to the freezer.
