Corned Beef & Sauerkraut Quiche

Author Notes: This is a post St. Patrick’s Day quiche I like making with leftover corned beef; inspired after brainstorming with my husband for something besides sandwiches or hash. I have also made this with deli pastrami or corned beef other times of the year. Serve with a dollop of horseradish cream sauce = a mixture of sour cream and fresh grated horseradish. Note: this was NOT a Ricotta entry as is shown in the contest entries - my mistake, oops! —lapadia
Serves 8-10 depending on your slices
QUICHE
-
1 9-inch all butter pie shell (below)…store bought (pictured) when in a hurry
-
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
-
1 cup sauerkraut (squeezed and drained a bit on a paper towel)
-
1/3 pound (5-1/3 ounces) corned beef, chopped
-
2 cups Gruyere cheese, grated
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
1 cup half & half cream or full fat
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
-
A little grated onion for the bottom of the crust
-
1/4 fresh grated horseradish
-
1 cup sour cream
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Sprinkle caraway seeds over pie crust. Poke holes in crust with a fork and blind bake for 7 minutes.
- Fill the pie crust with sauerkraut and some grated onion.
- Top with corned beef. Top with cheese. Mix together eggs, cream, Dijon mustard, dry mustard and onion.
- Pour into pie shell and bake until the filling if puffed and set (about 40-50 minutes).
- Mix the grated horseradish and sour cream together and refrigerate until needed.
- Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with creamy horseradish sauce.
ALL BUTTER CRUST
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
-
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
Ice water, between 4-6 tablespoons
- Add the butter, flour and salt in a food processor bowl, pulse lightly until the mixture resembles wet looking pea size particles.
- Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing a couple times after each tablespoon. Keep adding water until the dough just starts to gather into larger clumps. Place dough into a re-sealable plastic bag or plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough disk to a flour work surface. Roll out to a 10 inch round. Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Blind bake. Add filling. Bake.

Also I did not use the caraway and use 1 tsp dry mustard.

The best quiche idea ever. I used ribbon thin sliced pastrami, sliced green onion instead of grated, put the horseradish in the egg mixture instead of making the topping and added 1 extra egg and 1 egg yolk. It just disappeared!

Hi jv! Happy to hear this recipe - with your special touches - was well received by all. Love your horseradish idea = to mix into the egg mixture. Next time I'm going to do that as well as mixing some into the sour cream.

Thanks! My husband is Irish & German so I always brainstorm a few recipes per year in honor of that; this one covers it all because he loves sauerkraut (anytime) and can't forget the Irish in March! I a pizza with these ingredients (minus custard) on a rye crust, too.

Your recipe looks terrific - would never have thought to combine all these flavors. My mouth is watering! Forget about your posting mistake - I once posted a Meyer lemon marmalade recipe in a meat contest!
