Ingredients
  1. 3-1/2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
  2. 1 tbsp. butter
  3. 1 cup chopped onion
  4. 1 large clove garlic, minced
  5. 1 small zucchini, quartered, thinly sliced (2 cups)
  6. 1 cup chopped drained oil-packed artichoke hearts
  7. 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  8. 4 EGGS
  9. 1/2 cup milk
  10. 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 oz.)
  11. 1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
  12. 1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
  13. 2 cups marinara sauce, warmed
Instructions
  1. HEAT oven to 425°F. PRESS potatoes evenly against bottom and sides of greased 10-inch quiche dish or pie plate. COAT lightly with cooking spray. BAKE in 425°F oven until potatoes are lightly browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 375°F.
  2. While crust is baking, HEAT butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. ADD onion and garlic; sauté until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. ADD zucchini, artichokes and bell pepper; sauté until crisp-tender.
  3. BEAT eggs, milk, cheese, basil and oregano in large bowl until blended. ADD zucchini mixture; mix well.
  4. POUR vegetable mixture into potato crust. BAKE in center of 375°F oven until center is almost set but jiggles slightly when dish is gently shaken and knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. LET STAND 5 minutes. CUT into wedges; SERVE with marinara sauce.
Notes
  1. Try using bacon or sausage for a spicy twist on this Mediterranean-style quiche. Hash browns offer an exciting addition as crust.
  2. How to tell if it’s done. Baked custards should be removed from the oven before the center is completely set. The center will jiggle slightly when dish is gently shaken. Custard will continue to “cook” after it’s removed and center will firm up quickly. Overbaked custard may curdle. The knife test: Insert knife about 1 inch from the center. If knife is clean when pulled out, the custard is done. If any custard clings to the blade, bake a few minutes longer and test again. Cheese fillings: Quiches containing cheese may continue to test “wet” even after they are done. Use the jiggle test.

Cheese and Bacon Bread Bake (Strata)

Cheese and Bacon Bread Bake (Strata)
Serves 8
Strata, breakfast casserole, savoury french toast bake or bread pudding. It doesn't matter what you call this, it's totally delish and can be made ahead so it's great for feeding a crowd! It tastes like a cross between a quiche, french toast and an omelette.

Ingredients
  1. 10 oz bacon, diced

  7. 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
  8. Parsley, finely chopped (garnish - optional)

  6. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for a further 10 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  7. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before removing the spring form and cutting into slices to serve. Garnish with parsley if using.

Ingredients
  1. 3 large eggs
  2. 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
  3. ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  4. 2 ounces smoked salmon, slivered (about ¼ cup)
  5. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  6. 1 leek (white part and 1-inch green), well rinsed, dried, and coarsely chopped (about ½ cup)
  7. ¼ teaspoon caraway seeds, crushed
  8. 3 tablespoons crumbled chèvre
Instructions
  1. Preheat the broiler.
  2. Beat the eggs, crème fraîche, and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the smoked salmon.
  3. In a 10-inch flameproof skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. When it has stopped foaming, stir in the leek and caraway. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are golden and soft, about 2-3 minutes. Remove half the leeks with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low, and stir in the egg mixture. Cook just until the bottom is set; the top should still be wet, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with the chèvre and reserved leeks.
  5. Place the skillet under the broiler, and cook until the eggs are set and the cheese is slightly melted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately.

Ingredients
  1. 5 thin slices pancetta
  2. 1 tbsp olive oil
  3. 1 large shallot (or 2 small)
  4. ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  5. 6 eggs
  6. 1½ cup whole milk
  7. pinch of pepper
  8. 2 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  9. 70 g (2.5 oz) goat's cheese
Instructions
  1. Take one disc of prepared pie dough (use your favorite pie dough recipe) and roll it out. Fit it into either a deep dish pie plate or use a quiche dish with a removable bottom which is what is used in the photos). Once it is rolled out and in the preferred vessel, put it in the fridge until the filling is ready.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 F and set the rack on the lowest level.
  3. Thinly slice the shallot into half moons and set aside.
  4. Cut the pancetta into bite size pieces, about 2 cm, and sautee in a frying pan with the olive oil until the pancetta is crispy.
  5. Remove the pancetta but leave the oil in the pan and sautee the shallot in the oil until soft and starting to brown slightly. Set the cooked shallot aside with the pancetta.
  6. In a large glass measuring bowl, crack in 6 eggs and lightly beat with a fork.
  7. Pour in the milk and mix it around with the fork as well. Then add the cheddar, pancetta, shallot, and thyme.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared pie dish and add the goat's cheese by pinching off pieces of it and dotting it around the savoury custard.
  9. If you are using a quiche pan with a removable bottom, place it on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil (for easy clean up). If you don't, then the fat will drip out onto the bottom of your oven and smoke like crazy or catch fire. If you are using a regular glass or ceramic pie dish then the cookie sheet isn't necessary.
  10. Bake the quiche at 425 F for 12-15 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 350 F and bake for a further 25-35 minutes. It is done when it is getting a little golden on top, starts to souffle around the perimeter and the center is set (not runny anymore).
  11. Let it sit 10-15 minutes before serving.
