| Apple Pie and Quiche |
Directions
You'll need a 9 in tart pan or 9 in pie pan with pie crust (see below) for this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Poke crust with fork ("docking"). Bake until the crust is set, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard the fat or reserve for another use.
Arrange the bacon, cheese and spinach evenly over the bottom of the baked crust.
Cream (beat vigorously) cream cheese until soft. Add in the eggs, one at a time into cream cheese until mixed, then whisk in half and half. Pour into the prepared crust. Top with additional cheeese if desired.
Bake until the egg mix is golden, puffed, and set - 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before serving.
Flaky Pie CrustNOTE I'm making double patch, for ham pie Wednesday
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
8 tbsp butter
8 tbsp Crisco shortening
1 tsp white vinegar
2 tbsp - 1/4 cup water
Using a fork or a pastry blender, mix butter, shortening, salt, and flour together until it looks like small beads. Add vinegar and 2 tbsp water and mix until dough forms. If it is too dry to mix add water, a tbsp at a time until it comes together. Roll into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest 20 minutes (can be refrigerated for up to 3 days). After resting, roll out into 2 circles for your pie.
Lasagna
1 1/2 - 2 boxes (about 16 pieces) of packaged or fresh lasagna noodles, cooked el dente
16 oz ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 cup of three Italian cheese blend (Romano, parmesan, mozzarella)
2 tsp each salt and pepper
4 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar/mozzarella mix, or Italian mix)
2 jars/cans of favorite marinara/spaghetti sauce
1 lb italian sausage, browned and crumbled
Mix ricotta, egg, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of italian blend cheese in a mixing bowl. In a 9x13 pan, spread a lite layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan. Next, put a layer of noodles - about 4 noodles slightly overlapping. Scoop small spoonfuls of ricotta mixture on noodles (no need to spread, it will melt). Top with sauce, sausage, and cheese. Repeat two more times. Last, add another layer of noodles, sauce and shredded cheese.
Bake at 350, covered with foil, in the oven until warm - about 40 minutes. If desired, take foil off for the last 10 minutes to brown cheese.
