Dairy Quiches Recipe - A Kosher Shavuot Brunch Idea That Will Impress Your Guests
Here's a recipe for Dairy Quiches, a delicious and creamy dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch or lunch:
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture is crumbly.
3. Gradually add in the ice water, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
5. Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Each circle should be about 3 inches in diameter.
6. Press the dough circles into a muffin tin, making sure to press the dough up the sides of the tin.
7. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
8. Stir in the grated Gruyere cheese and chopped chives.
9. Pour the filling mixture into the prepared crusts, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the quiches are set and the crusts are golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let the quiches cool for a few minutes before serving.
Optional: You can also add chopped cooked bacon, ham, or vegetables to the filling for added flavor and nutrition. Enjoy!
