Notes
Notes:How do you blind bake a pie crust ? One of the first steps in making a quiche is to blind bake the pie crust. This slightly bakes the pie crust before adding the toppings and completing the baking process. Prepare the pie shell in the pie pan first, line the inside of the pie shell with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or, in my case, dried beans. This will create weight in the pan, helping the pie crust to hold its shape while baking and prevent large bubbles in the crust. It is best not to punch the holes in the pie crust when making a quiche, as the holes may remain and will allow the egg mixture to escape from the crust during baking and cause the pie crust to stick to the surface. dish.
- Using 5 eggs you should have a total of 2 and 1/2 cups of liquid with the eggs, milk and cream.
- Nutrition Info has just the crust and the egg included. You will need to adjust with the toppings you choose.
What are the best quiche toppings(garnishes)?
Honestly, pretty much anything you want. Quiches work best with meats, vegetables, seafood, and cheese. Most of the ingredients will need to be precooked. Meats must all be precooked and dried. For example: bacon, sausage, ground beef, ham. Everything should be cooked and the fat patted down with paper napkins. Vegetables should be sautéed before adding. After sautéing the vegetables in a pot on the stovetop, pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Tomatoes and spinach can be added fresh to quiches. I threw the little grape tomatoes in a dice and added them, and the quiche turns out really well. And I always throw fresh spinach in my quiches and let them cook in the quiche. Of course, you can sauté the spinach before using it as well. Some of my favorite filling combinations:
- Ham and cheddar
- Spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese
- Crab and mushroom
