Ham And Gruyere Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; fold in Gruyere cheese, ham and onions. Fill 10 greased muffin cups three-fourths full., Bake 18-22 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Freeze option: Bake and cool quiches. Place quiches between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container; freeze up to 3 months. To use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat oven to 350°. Transfer quiches to a greased baking sheet; bake 10-14 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pulse together the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the chilled butter and pulse just until the butter is evenly distributed throughout. Add the sour cream and continue to pulse 2 to 4 more times until just incorporated. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water at a time, pulsing after each addition, until the dough starts to hold together. Add more water as needed. Turn the dough out onto plastic wrap and form it into a disc. Wrap the dough in the plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator 30 minutes. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Roll up the dough using a rolling pin, and gently lift and place it over a deep, 10-inch tart pan. Gently press the dough into all the crevices and trim the overhang to 1/2-inch. Crimp the edges for a decorative finish and use the trimmed dough to patch any holes. Dock the bottom of the crust with a fork to keep it from puffing up, line with parchment paper and add dried beans to act as pie weights. Place on a large baking sheet and bake until the crust begins to brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the parchment and dried beans. For the custard: Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat and saute the leeks until they soften and begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool and reserve. Whisk the cream, milk, cornstarch, salt, pepper, cayenne, nutmeg and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Scatter the leeks evenly over the bottom of the crust. Top with the cheese and ham. Pour the custard over the top and place in the oven on a large sheet tray. Bake until the center is set and the crust is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch quiche or pie pan with cooking spray.
• Place thawed, shredded hash browns on paper towels and lightly press with another paper towel, to remove excess moisture.
• Pour hash browns in the prepared pan, and press on the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form a crust. Brush the sides and bottom of the hash brown crust with melted butter. Use a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap to press the potatoes firmly on the bottom and sides of the pan again, making sure there are no gaps.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes, adding 5-minute increments if needed. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• While the crust is baking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet and cook the chopped red bell pepper, chopped fresh mushrooms, and chopped scallions, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chopped spinach and cook until spinach is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Set cooked vegetables aside and allow to cool.
• Beat eggs, cream, and remaining salt and pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in cooked vegetables and 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese.
• Place sliced Gruyere cheese on the bottom of the baked crust, cutting to fit. Sprinkle diced ham on top of the sliced Gruyere, and pour egg mixture over all. Sprinkle remaining shredded Gruyere on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center of the quiche is set, and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a rack for about 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm, or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
