Roasted Vegetable And Gruyere Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven 200°C/400°F/Gas6.
• Rollout the pastry and line a deep 10 inch/25 cm flan tin.
• Line with baking paper and baking beans and blind bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove paper and beans and return to bake for another 5 minutes.
• Place all the vegetables on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil.
• Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until slightly charred.
• Set aside and cool slightly, seperate the onion layers.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C/350°F/Gas4.
• In a bowl whisk the eggs with the cream, stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste (you can also mix in a few of your favourite herbs).
• Spread the vegetables over the bottom of the pastry case and pour the egg mixture over.
• Bake for approx 30-35 minutes.
• Can be served hot or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks set in upper and lower thirds. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium. Add shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add as much spinach to skillet as will fit; season with salt and pepper, and toss, adding more spinach as room becomes available, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer spinach mixture to a colander. Press firmly with the back of a spoon to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Divide spinach mixture and cheese between prepared crusts. Place each crust on a separate rimmed baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Dividing evenly, pour egg mixture into crusts.
• Arrange baking sheets on racks, and bake until center of each quiche is just set, 55 to 60 minutes, rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through. Let quiches stand 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
• Roast the vegetables: Spread the onion, broccoli, and red pepper evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast at 400 F for 15 minutes, turning once half-way through.
• Prepare the eggs: Whisk the 2 egg whites with 4 whole eggs, skim milk, evaporated skim milk, black pepper, salt, ground nutmeg, and Dijon mustard.
• Brush a 10-inch quiche dish with melted margarine.
• Assemble: Place the roasted vegetables in the quiche dish. Add the Gruyere and green onions. Gently pour the egg mixture over top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 375 F (190 C) for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

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.
