Tomato and Basil Quiche

第一次吃quiche也記不清是在哪了, 但確定的是我一直都挺愛的, 距離上次做quiche好像約有兩個月了, 前幾天在網路上瞄到這個食譜, 心想來做做吧, 也順便試做一下派皮,  因為已前派皮都是買冷藏現成的, 但大妹說現成的派皮很多都是用酥油做的, 對健康比較不好, 再加上現成的尺寸通常都是9吋, 我的pyrex偏偏是9.5吋, 所以也在網路上找到一個非常簡單的派皮做法, 重點是從派皮開始做, 之前買的pastry blender, pastry mat, rolling pin, pie weight全都可派上用場, 這樣北極熊就開心了, 免得說買了都沒用.

Pie Crust (1 pie crust)  http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pie-Crust-IV/Detail.aspx

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt (for savory pie), 1/4 tsp salt + 1/2 tbsp sugar (for sweet pie)
  • 1/2 cup ice water

Directions:

  1. Mix butter, flour, and salt together with a fork or a pastry blender until very crumbly. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time and toss with a fork after each addition (add as much water as needed to hold together, and mix lightly with a fork).
  2. Refrigerated for 30 minutes prior to roll gently on a floured pastry cloth to about an inch larger than pie plate. Fold carefully in half, lift to pie plate, and unfold. Press into pan. For a single-crust pie, trim with a small knife to about 1/2 inch beyond rim. Fold up, and pinch so edge of pie is raised from rim. Refrigerated it for another 30 minutes before filling in.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • Sliced mushroom (optional)
  • 2 tomatoes, peeled and sliced, place on paper towel, sprinkle lightly with salt on both side for 20 minutes, then sprinkle liberally with extra basil

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

 Direction:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake pie shell in preheated oven for 8 – 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion (and mushroom) until soft and brown; remove from skillet. Sprinkle tomato slices with flour and basil, then sauté 1 minute on each side. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread 1 cup shredded cheese in the bottom of pie crust. Layer onions over cheese, and top with tomatoes. Cover with egg mixture. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle nutmeg on the top. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 15 ~ 20 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown.
  5. Remove Quiche from the oven; let it set for one hour before serving.

原本的食譜裡面是沒有加mushroom的, 但我們兩個就跟哈比人一樣超愛mushroom, 所以就自己加了.
