Episode 194: Cheddar, Bacon & Caramelized Onion Quiche

The hosts have rave reviews for two cookbooks. Andrea’s Cookbook Club (organized by Browsers Books in Olympia, WA) picked Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking: A Cookbook by Toni Tipton-Martin for their virtual summertime gathering. On the other side of the pond, Stefin dived into Regula Ysewijn’s Pride and Pudding: The History of British Puddings Savoury and Sweet. Both were full of fascinating history, intriguing recipes, and beautiful photos.

Speaking of books, pick up Laurie Colwin’s Home Cooking, then join the Preheated Book Club in Episode 196.

Review: Cheddar, Bacon, and Caramelized Onion Quiche from Good Things Baking Co.

A pastry mishap led Andrea to pivot to a crustless version of Good Things Baking Co’s Cheddar, Bacon, and Caramelized Onion Quiche. But despite her frustrations, Andrea persevered and is glad she did: She and her family gave this quiche five-star reviews all around. It disappeared very quickly, and was good warm, cold, and straight out of the fridge. Andrea plans to try this recipe again, with pastry, when she experiments with a deep-dish version.

This Week’s Bake Along: Betty Crocker’s Make-Ahead Peach Breakfast Bake

Since sharing food and entertaining has changed, the hosts are taking turns making and reviewing the weekly bake alongs. Stefin’s up with this big-batch, skillet pancake by any other name that takes advantage of seasonal peaches. She’ll be making her own planned modification by whipping up a copycat version of Bisquick (taking inspiration from Tonia at The Gunny Sack). Give it a try (with your own or store-bought Bisquick) and tag your pics @preheatedpod.

Pancake Possibilities

Sweet, savory, boozy, hybrid: The iconic pancake continues to change with the times. Despite all the new-fangled toppings and iterations, though, Andrea’s favorite remains Mark Bittman’s Everyday Pancakes, while Stefin’s family has relied on Cooking Light‘s Whole Wheat Buttermilk version for 20 years.

    1. I made mine a 9-inch cast iron skillet and it worked great – One large quiche! I don’t see why you couldn’t split it into two smaller pans. A 9-inch round has an area of 64 square inches, so if you used two 6-inch rounds, each with an area of 29 square inches, you’d be about the same.

  1. Baked this quiche in a nine-inch cast iron skillet for brunch this morning. A+ rating from prep to taste. Loved that I could prepare the onions and bacon early, bake it up and keep it warm in the turned-off oven. Absolutely the winning touchdown in our house. It would be perfect for Christmas morning or a Thanksgiving morning too. I served it with a blueberry coffee cake, maple apple sausages and a bowl of strawberries and topped it off with mimosas! Delicious. Btw I didn’t even bother with a crust!
