| Sweet Onion and Herb Quiche Via The View from Great Island |
Sweet Onion and Herb Quiche
Ingredients:
1 frozen pie crust
1 medium sweet onion
5 large eggs
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup chopped herbs, I used thyme and chives
2 Tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
fresh cracked black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (I used an Italian blend, you can use cheddar, or whatever you like)
4 ounces goat cheese
Instructions:
Set oven to 400F
Peel and very thinly slice the onion. I used the 1/8 inch setting on my mandoline, but you can use a knife if you like, just get the slices as thin as possible. Break apart the rings and pile the onions right into the frozen (not thawed) crust. Even them out from side to side. you may not need the entire onion if yours is large.
Whisk the eggs and cream together, making sure to break up the eggs completely. Stir in the herbs, mustard, and Parmesan. Add salt and pepper.
Scatter the shredded cheese on top of the onions, and then crumble the goat cheese over that.
Pour the egg mixture over all. Spread out the herbs, if necessary, across the surface of the quiche (they can tend to clump toward the center after you add the liquid.)
Bake for about 50 minutes, give or take, until the quiche is puffed, browned, and set in the center.
Notes:
Use whatever cheese you like, but I think stronger flavor works best. You might try a smoked cheese.
Sweet onions work perfectly for this quiche because they are mild and delicate and don’t require long cooking. Use any variety you can find, right now it’s Vidalia season, so that’s what I used. Generic sweet onions can be found right next to the regular yellow, white, and red onions in your produce aisle.
You can cut down on calories by using whole or even low fat milk in place of the half and half.
