JCB LIVE Wine Styles: But First, Brunch with homemade quiche and a Ramos Fizz.
Video Summary
Brunching is a favorite pastime for many of us, and we have the ultimate combo for you. Join Jean-Charles and Donnell as they attempt a delicious Quiche Lorraine and a Ramos Fizz.
Quiche Lorraine Recipe:
INGREDIENTS
• 1 unbaked Flaky Pie Crust (what I used) or All Butter Pie Crust
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
• up to 1 cup shredded Gruyere and Comte cheese
• up to 2 cups add-ins ( bacon, ham, spinach, mushrooms, etc.)
DIRECTIONS
• Pie crust: I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin the quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Partially blind bake your pie crust. Crust can still be warm when you pour in the filling.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F
• In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together on high speed until completely combined, about 1 minute. Whisk in add-ins.
• Bake the quiche until the center is just about set, about 45-55 minutes. Don’t over-bake. Use a pie crust shield to prevent the pie crust edges from over-browning. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Top with optional toppings before slicing and serving, if desired. Or you can cool the quiche completely before serving– it’s fantastic at room temperature!
