Quiche Lorraine
PREP TIME: Approximately 15 minutes
COOK TIME: TurboChef : 15 to 25 minutes
Conventional : 1 to 1-1/2 hours
Quiche Lorraine is named for the medieval region of western
Europe, where it originated. Lorraine is now a part of eastern
France. The dish is enjoyed throughout France and, indeed,
throughout the world.
1. Select “Cookbooks” on the touchscreen. Select “Eggs, Poultry &
Meats” followed by “Quiche Lorraine.” Select “9-Inch” or
“Deep-Dish” and press “Preheat” to begin the preheat cycle.
2. In a sauté pan, cook bacon strips until crisp. Remove and dice.
3. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings. Add the
onions and sauté for about 10 minutes.
4. Roll out the pie crust into a 10-inch diameter and form into
a 9 x 1-1/4 -inch metal pie tin. If using the deep-dish pan, roll
two pie crusts together to a 13-inch diameter circle and form
into a 10 x 2-inch pie pan. Place bacon, then onions, then
cheese into the pie crust.
5. In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs,
cream, and spices until frothy and volume increases. Pour over
the bacon, onions, and cheese. Place pan in the oven carefully
as it will be very full.
6. Press “Start” and bake under “Quiche Lorraine” for 15 minutes
(9-inch) to 25 minutes (deep-dish). While cooking, the center of
the quiche should pu up and brown on top and the crust
should turn a nice golden brown.
7. When cooking is complete, insert a knife or toothpick into
the quiche’s center to check for doneness —it should come out
clean. If needed, use the “Cook More” function to add
additional cook time.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Helpful Hint : You may want to extend the shelf in the oven,
put the pan in the oven and pour the batter into the shell to avoid
spilling.
Strata
PREP TIME: Approximately 10 minutes
COOK TIME: TurboChef : 20 minutes
Conventional : 1 hour
Sunday brunch is easy with these make-ahead stratas. Don’t limit
your stratas to Sunday or to brunch—they sometimes hit the spot
for supper or lunch, too. With these three variations, you’ll look for
meals at which to serve a strata.
1. Place half of the cubed bread in the bottom of a greased (9 x
13-inch) ceramic or Pyrex dish.
2. Mix together the ingredients listed under the speci c strata
being made and sprinkle on top of the bread cubes. (For the
Spinach & Onion Strata, sauté the onions for about 15 minutes
or until they turn golden brown. Top bread cubes with onions
and spinach.)
3. Sprinkle with cheese and top with remaining bread cubes. (For
the Spinach & Onion Strata, also top with diced tomatoes.)
4. Whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and
parsley. Pour batter over bread mixture. Cover with plastic wrap
and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
5. To cook the strata, select “Cookbooks” on the touchscreen.
Select “Eggs, Poultry & Meats ” followed by “Strata.” Press
