Sweet Vanilla Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Set a pie pan on a rimmed baking sheet; place the pie crust into it. Roll or crimp the edges of the crust.
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar and flour until lightened and frothy, about two minutes. Add half and half. Split vanilla bean, scrape out seeds and add seeds to bowl; whisk until well-mixed.
• Pour custard into pie shell. (Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.) Bake in preheated oven 55-60 minutes until custard is puffed and golden. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing; serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a nine-inch pie plate with the pastry. By all means build a rim with the pastry and flute it. This is essential for the amount of custard indicated in this recipe.
• Cover the bottom of the pastry with a round of parchment paper and add enough dried beans or peas to partly fill the shell. Bake 10 minutes.
• Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees. Remove and discard the beans and parchment paper and set the pastry-lined pie plate aside.
• Cook the bacon until crisp and remove it from skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat remaining in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining fat until the onion is transparent.
• Crumble the bacon and sprinkle the bacon, onion and cheeses over the inside of the partly baked pastry.
• Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste. Strain the mixture over the onion-cheese mixture. Slide the pie onto a baking sheet.
• Bake the pie until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let stand five or 10 minutes before serving.
