Spinach Quiche With Turkey Bacon And Goat Cheese Food

GOAT CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the greens and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens wilt and most of the liquid evaporates, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie plate. Ease into the pie plate and trim the edge; crimp if desired. Scatter the goat cheese and Parmesan in the crust, then top with the sauteed greens.
• Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; pour over the greens. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the quiche is set, about 20 minutes. Slice into wedges.

SPINACH QUICHE WITH TURKEY BACON & GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Prepare pie crust according to package instructions. We recommend using a 9" deep-dish pie pan. When finished pre-cooking according to package instructions, remove from oven and cool slightly.
• While crust is cooking, prepare ingredients: cook turkey bacon until crispy; drain, cool and chop into small pieces; thoroughly wash baby spinach leaves and pat completely dry; chop and mix with bacon pieces; crumble goat cheese and set aside.
• Mix eggs, salt, pepper, milk, and half & half together in a small bowl; add spinach, bacon, and goat cheese. Blend well.

SPINACH, BACON, AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or preheat the broiler to medium-high. Heat the oil in a 9-inch nonstick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta or bacon and saute until golden, then remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallots to the pan, lower the heat, and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until soft but not colored. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, then remove from the heat.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then stir in the pancetta or bacon, spinach and shallots, grated cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Put the frying pan back over low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and cook gently, without stirring, letting the eggs set slowly from the bottom up. After about 5 minutes, give the pan a little shake: the bottom half of the frittata should be set, with a layer of wet egg still on top.
• Dot the goat cheese over the top. If you're baking the frittata, place it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until just set. Or put the frittata under the broiler, ideally not too close to the heat, for about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly (or completely) before slicing and serving.

• With 2 tbsp of the bacon fat, sauté onion and mushrooms until all the liquid released by the mushrooms has evaporated; add spinach and cook 1-2 minutes, just until spinach wilts; add reserved bacon, coriander and nutmeg and season lightly (remember there will be salt in the cheese); place in pastry and top with 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese.
• Beat together cream cheese, eggs and milk; season to taste; carefully pour over quiche and gently shake quiche to distribute custard.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until quiche is golden-brown, sprinkling with 1/2 cup of cheese 10 minutes before quiche is done (put the quiche directly on the oven floor for the last 10-15 minutes of baking to crisp up the crust); cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• MAKE THE PASTRY: In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Lightly beat the egg with the water and sprinkle over the flour mixture. Stir with a fork to lightly blend, then squeeze gently until a dough forms. Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 14-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. Fit the round into a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and trim the overhang. Refrigerate the shell for at least 20 minutes.
• Line the tart shell with foil and fill with pie weights or rice. Bake until the pastry is firm, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until golden brown. Transfer the shell to a rack to cool.
• MAKE THE FILLING: Heat a large skillet. Add a large handful of the spinach and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until wilted. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl. Repeat until all of the spinach has been cooked; let cool. Squeeze the spinach dry and coarsely chop it. Toss the spinach with the garlic and spread it in the cooled pastry shell.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the milk with the cream, eggs, egg yolks, salt and pepper. Arrange the goat cheese rounds on the spinach. Pour the custard into the shell and bake for about 40 minutes, or until just set. Transfer the quiche to a rack to cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve.
