Spinach And Mushroom Quiche With Buttery Crust From Scratch Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Press the pie crust into a deep, 9-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Layer the mushrooms and spinach into the crust and top with the cheese.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the crust.
• Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from the pan, slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Sprinkle bottom of pastry-lined quiche/tart pan or pie plate with 1 tbsp dry breadcrumbs (this will absorb any excess moisture).
• Place bacon in a large skillet; cook over medium high heat until evenly brown; remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper toweling; set aside.
• With 2 tbsp of the bacon fat, sauté onion and mushrooms until all the liquid released by the mushrooms has evaporated; add spinach and cook 1-2 minutes, just until spinach wilts; add reserved bacon, coriander and nutmeg and season lightly (remember there will be salt in the cheese); place in pastry and top with 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese.
• Beat together cream cheese, eggs and milk; season to taste; carefully pour over quiche and gently shake quiche to distribute custard.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until quiche is golden-brown, sprinkling with 1/2 cup of cheese 10 minutes before quiche is done (put the quiche directly on the oven floor for the last 10-15 minutes of baking to crisp up the crust); cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place flour in food processor. If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt and blend together. Cut butter in 1/4 inch chunks and pulse in food processor a few times. Add water one tablespoon at a time and pulse until the mixture starts to come together. NOTE: this won't come together the same way as dough in a mixer will; it will have to be combined by hand in the next step.
• Turn out contents of food processor on a lightly floured surface. Combine the wet and dry components until a dough is formed. Knead to ensure that all the dry parts are absorbed. Roll into a ball, then flatten out. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to rest for at least 15 minutes.
• While the dough is resting, clean out food processor, then combine half-and-half with beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend thoroughly. Chop spinach, slice mushrooms, and grate cheese and set aside for later.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove dough from refrigerator and place on lightly floured wax paper or a Silpat. Roll the dough out using a rolling pin until it's larger than the diameter of the pie pan you're using.
• Lift sheet of wax paper or Silpat with the dough, and flip over on top of pie pan. If using a ceramic pan with a ridge on it, make sure the dough is stretched out to cover the ridge. Flatten out dough to make sure there are no air pockets. Try to make the dough as even in thickness as possible.
• Layer spianch, mushrooms, and cheese on the bottom of the pie crust. Pour egg mixture into the crust evenly, making sure to push any cheese down below the surface. If using a ceramic pan with a ridge on it, wrap with aluminum foil or use crust protectors to avoid burining.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until the egg is set. Cut into 8 even slices.
