Quiche Without Cream Recipes: Step by Step Guide on How To Make Quiche Without Cream

Ingredients

The ingredients in this recipe are:

  • 1 large white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 4 eggs

Instructions:

  • The onion and bacon will be cooked together in a pan until the onions are translucent. After the onions and bacon have cooked together, add salt and pepper to taste. Finally, whisk together 1/2 cup of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Add this slurry to the pan and stir constantly for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens up.

Step 1: Create the crust – Put the flour into a bowl

Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. This will create the crust for your pie. Be sure to mix everything together well so that the crust is even.

Step 2: Add the butter and mix well

The baker in this recipe adds butter to the mixture of flour and salt. The butter is then cut into the flour using two cutters or a pastry blender. This step is important because it helps to create a crumbly texture for the dough.

Step 3: Add the egg and mix well

To make the Hollandaise sauce, mix together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and lemon juice until thick. Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly adding some of the hot milk mixtures to it while whisking constantly. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Step 4: Form the crust dough into a ball

Form the dough into a ball and place it in the center of the tart pan. Use your fingers to press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan, then use a fork to poke several holes in it. If needed, trim off any excess pieces of dough so that the crust is an even thickness all around.

Now that the dough has been formed, it is time to preheat the oven. 375 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature to shoot for. After that, evenly distribute half of the breadcrumbs over the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 5: Cook the onions and bacon in a skillet

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and pepper.

  • Stir in the onions and bacon.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6: Add the eggs, milk, and cheese to the cooked bacon

Add the eggs, milk, and cheese to the cooked bacon. While stirring continuously with a whisk or spatula (or both if you’re feeling ambitious), cook until the mixture has thickened. Drain the spinach and add to the bacon/egg mixture, then stir well until fully combined.

Step 7: Stir well

The next step is to stir well. Stirring helps distribute the eggs so they don’t settle at the bottom of the pan and it also mixes in any ingredients that are still clumped together.

Step 8: Put holes in the pie crust with a fork so that it doesn’t rise while baking

To prevent the dough from rising during the baking process, put holes in it with a fork. This will ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn’t puff up.

Step 9: Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Place a plate on top of your quiche dish to weigh it down and prevent bubbles from forming, then set in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or until set.
