Pastry for Quiche?
Rummaging through the freezer I found some swiss cheese, bacon, and
frozen spinach (not necessarily in that order). Add some eggs and that's the basic fixin's for a quiche. What is a decent quiche crust that's not *too* loaded with fat? Or should I just make a half a recipe of normal pastry with butter and lard and roll it *really* thin? Thanks, regards, Bob |

Maybe you can use your box of phyllo to settle a bet for me. I'm of the opinion that phyllo becomes dry, brittle and basically no fun to use if it is left in the freezer too long, even if it stays frozen the whole time. I think phyllo has to be fresh meaning frozen for only a few weeks, defrosted in the refrigerator and then used right away. Another is of the opinion that the brittle unusableness happens when the phyllo is frozen and defrosted and frozen again too often. Any thoughts? --Lia |

All pie and tart pastries have pretty much the same amount of fat, and pastry is not very good if it is rolled out too thin. |

When it is soft and works right, there's nothing so easy, elegant and delicious. You make up your filling all in one pan. You melt the butter in another. Then you set up your work table with the phyllo unwrapped and spread out. You brush butter on the phyllo, put in a spoonfull of the filling, wrap it up, brush butter on the next one, wrap, remove to buttered baking dish and continue that way until you have an oven full of delectable buttery appetizers or treats. --Lia |

I've seen it spelled with every combination: phyllo, filo, fillo, etc. if that helps you find it. I've always pronounced it feel-oh and have no idea if that's correct. I've never cared for the sweet preparations either, but the savory applications can be wonderful. Fillings can include: spinach, feta, eggs, garlic, or soft cheese, feta, eggs, parsley. Almost any leftover vegetables can be chopped up, combined with grated cheese and something flavorful like sauteed onions or fresh or dried herbs and put inside the buttery, flaky phyllo with wonderful results. --Lia |

The sweetness is because of all the honey and sugar syrup that gets poure= d over it. Between that and the richness of the nuts, it is one of those things that should be served in small portions. Some baklavas have more honey that others. There was one vendor at the St. Lawrence market in Toronto who used to have his baklava soaking in a pan of pure honey. Phyllo is very versatile stuff and surprisingly easy to work with. One of= my favourites is salmon fillets wrapped in phyllo. |

If it has to be a traditional sort of crust, it'll need a fair amount of fat. But there are many other ways to get there. I'd suggest spraying the cooking vessel with Pam or equivalent: 1) lavash - there are thin versions of it now in the stores. Like a tortilla, but breadier. Line the vessel you're making the quiche in with it. 2) tortillas - one or more to line a vessel. 3) crumb crusts - any sort of crumbs you'd like. Bind them with water and/or egg. 5) bread dough rolled very thin, filled and baked before it can rise. 6) ground nuts - almonds are wonderful for this. 7) crepes - line the vessel. 8) lasagna sheets - line the vessel. 9) thin slices of ham - line the vessel. 10) queso fresco or paneer cheese - cut to thin slices, line the vessel, and fill and bake as usual. 11) Bake it into a bread boule. I'm saying vessel because it doesn't have to be a pie plate. It can be a muffin tin with individual portions baked in any of the above "crusts." It can be a cast iron or non-stick skillet with no crust at all. Given that you're putting eggs and cheese in the quiche, the fat in the crust won't be that much additional. Maybe make it classically and eat a bit less. Or make an omelet or a frittata... Pastorio |

Mary Crustless Quiche 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed 2 Tbsp. flour 1/2 lb. swiss cheese, diced 3 eggs 1 cup milk 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper dash ground nutmeg vegetable cooking spray Preheat oven to 350 F. Lay thawed spinach on paper towels. Blot and squeeze the spinach until barely moist. Set aside. Combine cheese and flour. Set aside. Blend eggs and milk. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in spinach and the cheese-flour mixture. Pour into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350F for 55 to 60 minutes, until set. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving. |
