@dcSaute I saw those chickpeas first, and all sorts of things went through my mind, but then I read the lines underneath, describing why they were there!
I have a question for you - you obviously just put the chickpeas in the pastry without a liner, like parchment or foil, which I always have to use with the weights. It keeps a lot of moisture in, and the chickpeas it seems would let a lot out. Do you just use a new batch of chickpeas every time, then cook the chickpeas in something to use them up? It doesn't seem like the chickpeas could be used time after time, after being on the buttery pastry.
I've made this with no crust and with green chile enchilada sauce, it's yummy!This thread reminded me of the old chili relleno casserole recipes from the 70s.
I’ve made it in a frozen pie shell or as a crust less quiche.
I prefer to serve it with the tomato sauce or chunky salsa on the side.
Goooood Chili Relleno Casserole
I've used this recipe for years and it always gets rave reviews. 3 (7 oz.) cans of green chilies, diced (or whole, split) 3 cups jack cheese, shredded 3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1 cup of evaporated or whole milk 1/4 cup flour 1/4 tsp. baking powder 5 eggs 1 (8oz) can plain tomato sauce...www.discusscooking.com
keesch krust - part ducks . . .
got some "std" pie crust stuff - Pillsbury, decent name, one would surmise . . .
well, it shrunk/sagged/whatevered - unrolled and place in the deep dish pan, came right up to the pan rim.
it shrunk, I was pretty sure the mixture volume would overflow the shrunken crust and make a mega-mess - but it didn't.
anywhey, a good time dinner was had by all. left-overs scheduled for Sunday . . .

I cheat and buy frozen mini quiches that whip up uber fast in the AF, served with a salad, I've got lunch!
If you have an Aldi near you, try their pre-made crust. I think that they are at least as good as Pillsbury, maybe better, and they cost less - bonus! Two crusts to a box, just like the name brand.Pillsbury, decent name, one would surmise . . .

That looks good! I'd be curious for the recipe if available or generalized description.Tonight's quiche, made with a batter of tofu and almond milk. Delicious.
The hash brown crust is a great idea and will hold it together. There's actually dozens of combinations of 'vegan tofu hash brown crust quiche recipes'.That looks good! I'd be curious for the recipe if available or generalized description.
Wer'e actually, or I should say, My wife is actually making a Tofu Quiche this week. Using a Hash brown crust. The quick has tofu, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and some other things. This was another recipe I questioned , but actually comes out pretty good.
we're getting a new Aldi 'down at the corner'!
Aldi and Lidl have other nearby locations, but our normal routines don't often take us to that part of town. the new one is right close.
I've been disappointed in Aldi of late. both used to stock a lot of German goodies - but Aldi has dropped pretty much all that - and become essentially a cut rate grocery store.
Lidl still carries the German stuff / heavy German inspired stuff.... it's a must shop place for Christmas cookies, stollen, etc.
my "main" store is a Giant. however their buyers live somewhere way far away from "here" and their "fresh produce" - especially Dec thru summer - is exceedingly iffy.
rotting onions, potatoes with huge black voids, carrots made of orange rubber, etc etc etc
in summer/season I shop at a couple farm stands - corn, tomatoes, peppers, candy onions, zukes, beets, green/yellow beans . . . all available right smack off the vine . . .
when we're bored, we do Wegman's @ 30 minutes drive, one way.
so I'm already doing two stores - Weis Markets (across the street) has infinitely superior produce. Weis is a smaller / semi-local business with seriously better produce buyers/suppliers. otoh, Weis has a smaller selection of "same products" but curiously they stock stuff we prefer, and Giant does not stock . . .
Aldi would be a second stop sandwiched into between. all three are within pumpkin chunkin distance of each other . . .
