I love, just love, quiche. I think it can be eaten anytime of day and the filling possibilties are just ENDLESS. I thought I'd jazz up the crust this time with some fresh chives and tried Trader Joe's Smoked Apple Chardonnay Chicken Sausage . Read more . These were made for one of my clients this morning and I didn't get to taste them but they came out gorgeous and smelled amazing. Please let me know if you try them! Ingredients:
chive dough |
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour |
6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces |
1/8 tsp kosher salt |
1/4 tsp granulated sugar |
about 3-4 tablespoons ice water |
filling |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1/2 a medium onion, minced |
4 links apple chicken sausage, chopped (i remove the casings) |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes packed in oil, drained, julienne cut |
2 cups fresh, organic spinach |
2 tablespoons of fresh basil chopped |
4 organic eggs |
1 1/2 cups half and half |
freshly grated nutmeg, kosher salt and white pepper, to taste |
8 oz. sharp white cheddar (i used cabot) |
equipment |
4 pot pie pans |
