Better Then Quiche, Ricotta Pie - Page 7

Sissiesue · 09-03-2011, 05:26 PM

Just made this with spinach, cheddar, and some andouille-type sausages I had in the fridge. It's baking now (in my 12-muffin tin) and smells heavenly.

Since I had 2lbs of ricotta to use up, I also made a sweet ricotta pie, similar to what Linda Sue's recipe describes. Yummy! Good eatin' this week!

Made this today! DELICIOUS! Used some cottage cheese up that I stick blended and "drained" Next time will use all ricotta and probably less mozarella! Great base recipe. thanks!

Bumping this up for a quick breakfast idea.

I have made this several times, with all kinds of tweaks and they always turn out good...I make the muffins for easy breakfasts.

Bumping again. Too good a recipe to languish!

sbwertz · 08-11-2015, 08:14 AM

I made this for breakfast this morning. Only changes I made were I used small curd full fat cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and I cooked the onion in the bacon fat instead of butter. We really liked it...it will stay on the "staples" list! We will be having it often.

does this ricotta pie leak water like quiche does when the eggs are slightly over cooked? I hate that...but want to try this recipe.

My "cure" for wateriness is to add a sprinkle of chia seeds- to this or any other egg dish- ups the nutrition, and reduces the wateriness.

I haven't noticed any weeping when I've made it.

Bonbon41 · 09-17-2015, 09:43 AM

I find a slight weepiness when reheated, especially in the mike, but not when originally cooked. I'm intrigued by your chia seed "cure" millergirl, interesting!

But mine also comes out of the freezer before the reheat, perhaps that adds to the weepy factor?

I have a particular dislike of watery or weepy texture. I use the chia seed "cure" in Cleo's lasagna, in the cabbage chicken bacon casserole, and lots of others here. It really helps!

Soobee · 09-18-2015, 01:06 AM

Do you have a rule of thumb for how much chia you add to a dish?

I don't Soobee, I am just not that organized of a cook.

I would guess for a quiche like this, or an 8x8 casserole, two Tbs.

Thanks.

Thanks for the chia seed tip...I never thought of that. I do use chia in other things, just never thought about the quiche or other egg dishes. From now on, I'll use it.

Made this again this morning. Had a friend over who is a notorious "picky eater." I made it with cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and he immediately told me he didn't like cottage cheese. But he agreed to a "taste". He snarfed down a whole slice (1/6 of the pie)!

CarolynF · 03-06-2017, 12:47 PM

Thanks, Nelle..I was thinking about this the other day..As you know, our sweet Tooter died a year or two ago..

Charski · 03-06-2017, 12:59 PM

Tooter died?

I don't think I knew that!

CarolynF · 03-06-2017, 05:24 PM

Yup...she wasn't very old and had kids in her 20's. I think it was a heart attack.

I'm not sure how I missed that? Thanks for the link, Carolyn.

Tooter, this may be a tad late, but know that I will always remember you and my favorite Tooter Pies!

CarolynF · 03-07-2017, 01:11 PM

....and her wonderful Steak Ums manicotti..She was very creative in the kitchen.

marieze · 03-12-2017, 05:38 PM

I just made this yesterday and it is fabulous! I used sharp white cheddar along with the parm, and added smoked paprika to the sautéed sweet onions. Really a great recipe!
