For over 20 years, we sold our homegrown specialty onions at the farmers market. I handed out this favorite recipe for a classic quiche to all our customers. —Janice Redford, Cambridge, Wisconsin
Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons cold butter, divided
1/2 cup 4% small-curd cottage cheese
3 large sweet onions, sliced (about 6 cups)
4 ounces canadian bacon, diced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cut in 1/2 cup butter until crumbly. Gradually add cottage cheese, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
