Pastrami Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• For the brine: In a large stockpot, add half of the water, the brown sugar, kosher salt, curing salt, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, juniper berries, chile flakes, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon and star anise and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 30 minutes. Add the remaining water with some ice to chill the brine.
• For the rub: Grind the peppercorns, coriander and juniper until crushed but still a little chunky. Add to a mixing bowl. Add the salt, brown sugar, chile flakes and granulated garlic and stir to combine.
• For the pastrami: First, clean all the fat off the brisket including the "V" between the two muscles, then follow the fat between the two muscles and separate them making a flat and a cap.
• Transfer the brine to a large hotel pan or roasting pan. Add the brisket and refrigerate at least 5 days and no more than 10 days. Make sure the brisket is stirred once a day to get an evenly brined brisket.
• After a minimum of 5 days, prepare a smoker for 225 degrees F.
• Remove the pastrami, rinse it and blot dry with paper towels. Thoroughly rub the brined brisket with the pastrami rub. Place in smoker and cook for 8 hours until the internal temperature reaches 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and ham in the melted butter until onions are soft and ham begins to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
• Evenly spread corned beef hash onto the pie crust, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon. Spread ham and onion mixture over top. Pour egg mixture over the top until filled; avoid overfilling. Top with Cheddar cheese.
• Place the quiche on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and center is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bake pie shell for 5 minutes. Saute onion in oil. Add pastrami and saute some more. Beat eggs, soy milk, salt and nutmeg. Add to pastrami and onions and fry slightly. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
