Crustless Quiche Lorraine Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For the pan: Brush pan with the soft butter and sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly on top. Or for a Quick Crust, pulse bread into crumbs in a food processor. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add bread crumbs and stir until evenly toasted, about 5 minutes. Evenly spread crumbs in a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan. Place pan on a baking sheet.
• Whisk the half-and-half, eggs and yolks in large glass measuring cup. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, cayenne or paprika to taste. Spread half the desired filling evenly in the pan, top with about half the cheese; repeat with remaining filling and cheese. Pour the custard over the fillings. Top with more herbs or cheese as desired.
• Bake until the quiche is just set in the center, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. When the butter starts to froth and brown slightly on the edges, shut off the heat and add the leeks. Turn the heat back to medium and season the leeks with salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the leeks become only slightly tender. Transfer the leeks to a baking sheet and place the sheet in the refrigerator to cool.
• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs to break them up. Add the slices of goat cheese and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a whisk to break up the goat cheese and blend it with the eggs. When it is fairly smooth, whisk in the cream, milk, hot sauce and Worcestershire.
• The test: It's a lot harder to check the seasoning of an uncooked quiche batter. If desired, heat a pan, add a touch of butter and cook a tiny bit of the batter for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning of batter, if needed.
• Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of butter and fill with the cooled leeks and top with batter. Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Open the oven door and gently layer the Brie slices on top of the quiche. Close the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the top is slightly brown and bubbly.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out a 13-inch circle from dough.

Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line tart shell with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until dough starts to feel firm on the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights; continue baking until crust is pale golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Leave oven on.

• Bake the quiche in a water bath in a 350F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Note: A water bath is simply placing the dish to be cooked in a larger dish, then filling the larger dish with water to about 1" from the top of the smaller dish, then bake.
• I get the water ready to pour, place the uncooked quiche in the larger dish and then into the oven, and THEN pour the water in.
• Be very careful pulling this out of the oven.
• Move slowly so the hot water doesn't slosh about.
• Don't pull your oven rack out with the dish on it unless your rack moves very smoothly or the water will slosh.

Steps:

• Spray a shallow round ovenproof flan dish (aprox 25cm or 6-cup capacity) with oil. Pre-heat oven to 180C or moderate temperature.

• Place eggs, cream, chives and cheese in a large bowl and whisk until all ingredients are combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pour over the onion mixture in the flan dish. Arrange the tomato slices over the top.
• Bake 40mins or until it is just set and golden.
