Easter Brunch
From my family to yours, please enjoy my favorite Easter Brunch Recipes. Growing up my dad was the chef of the family, he would make our family famous Quiche recipe every Easter.
My Family Quiche Recipe
For Pâte Brisée (Pie Dough)
Makes 1 double-crust or 2 single-crust 9- to 10-inch pies.
Pâte Brisée is the French version of classic pie or tart pastry. Pressing the dough into a disk rather than shaping it into a ball allows it to chill faster. This will also make the dough easier to roll out, and if you freeze it, it will thaw more quickly.
2 ½ cups - All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon - Salt
1 cup - (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2cup ice water
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, and salt. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
2. With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky; be careful not to process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator, and chill at least 1 hour.
Ingredients for each pie (options)
1. Baby Spinach/Bacon/ Gruyere Cheese; 2. Bacon/Broccoli/Cheese;
3. Asparagus/Ham/Red Onion/Cheese; 4. Any other combinations
NOTE: Using Bacon, crisp it up on the stove. For vegetables, make sure to blanch.
For Custard
½ cup - heavy cream or half-and-half
2 Large - eggs
2 Large - eggs
½ tsp - ground black pepper
⅛ tsp - cayenne pepper
Instructions
With a whisk, in a medium bowl, whisk the ingredients together and pour the custard into the pie shell after layering the ingredients into the pie shell.
Preheat the oven to 400 F and position the oven rack on the lower third level.
Pop then quiches into the oven and bake until it's golden brown on the top about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool and enjoy.
