Red Pepper Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic, peppers and thyme. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, then turn the heat to medium low and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until peppers are very tender and sweet.
• Turn up heat to medium-high and, a handful at a time, add spinach and stir until each handful wilts. If there is liquid remaining in the pan turn up the heat and stir while you let it cook off. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. If you are making filling a day ahead, refrigerate uncovered.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to the remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread pepper and spinach mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle in an even layer on top. Very slowly pour in the egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to avoid the custard spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

Steps:

• Prepare prebaked tart shell for custard-filled tart or pie.
• Heat boiler.
• Broil pepper about 4 inches from heat, turning as needed, until blackened on all sides, 15-20 minutes. Let steam in closed plastic bag or covered bowl 5 minutes to loosen skin.
• Peel off blackened skin, then cut out stem. Cut pepper in half, remove seeds and white pith, and cut into 1/2-inch strips.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat butter in small skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
• Whisk remaining ingredients except whole chives together in mixing bowl, then whisk in cooled shallot. Place tart pan on baking sheet. Pour egg mixture evenly into tart shell. Arrange pepper strips in sunburst pattern on tart and place whole chives between strips.
• Bake tart until custard is set and pastry is lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Transfer tart to wire rack and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, sauté pepper strips and onions in margarine until soft but not limp.
• In a bowl, combine eggs, half-n-half, water, garlic, basil, and cayenne.
• Spoon peppers into unbaked pie shell.
• Pour egg mixture over peppers.
• Bake at 375°F for 50-55 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 425°F Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie pan as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or just until edge begins to brown. If crust puffs up in center, gently push down with back of wooden spoon.
• 2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine cheese and flour; toss to coat.
• 3. Saute the Pepper and Onion until Caramelized. (drain)
• 4. Remove partially baked crust from oven; reduce oven temperature to 375°F Spoon cheese mixture into partially baked crust. In same bowl, combine all remaining ingredients; beat until well blended. Pour over cheese mixture.
• 5. Return to oven; bake at 375°F 35 to 45 minutes longer or until filling is puffed and knife inserted in center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with strips of foil during last 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• *Prebaking the crust a few minutes helps eliminate a soggy crust.
