Quiche Lorraine--Eating Well
- 34 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 12 cup all-purpose flour
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter spread (calls for butter)
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 -2 tablespoon ice water
- 2 eggs
- 4 egg whites
- 34 cup nonfat milk
- 34 cup fat-free half-and-half (calls for nonfat evaporated milk)
- 14 teaspoon nutmeg
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 12 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (calls for Gruyere)
- 14 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (calls for diced smoked ham)
- 14 cup scallion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
- To prepare crust: Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 425F.
- Stir whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter is a light, nutty brown, 30 seconds to 4 minutes (depending on your stove).
- Pour into a small bowl and let cool.
- Stir in oil.
- Using a fork, slowly stir the butter-oil mixture into the flour mixture until it is crumbly.
- Gradually stir in enough ice water so that the dough will hold together.
- Knead the dough in the bowl a few times to help it come together.
- Press the dough into a disk.
- Place the dough between sheets of parchment or wax paper and roll into a 12-inch circle.
- Remove the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Remove the remaining paper and patch any tears in the dough.
- Fold the edges under at the rim and crimp with a fork.
- Line the dough with a piece of foil or parchment paper large enough to lift out easily; fill evenly with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake for 7 minutes.
- Remove the foil or paper and weights and continue baking just until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes more.
- (The crust will not be fully baked.)
- Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350.
- To prepare filling: Whisk eggs and egg whites well in a large bowl.
- Add milk, evaporated milk, nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and cayenne, stirring gently to avoid creating many bubbles.
- To assemble & bake quiche: Sprinkle mozzarella, bacon and scallions over the bottom of the prebaked crust.
- Carefully pour in the filling.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake the quiche until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Let cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before serving hot or warm.
