I have never been a quiche person. Or eggs for that matter! Now, I love them, and I can finally say I love quiche. This is a pretty easy recipe, derived from 100 Days of Real Food. You can put what you like in it, these are just my ideas and what my family likes. It’s even good cold the next day for breakfast or lunch! In the picture below, we did half with ham, cheese, onion, spinach; and half with bacon, cheese, onion, tomatoes and kale. Just eliminate the meat for a vegetarian option.
RECIPE
Pie Crust:
In a 9 inch pie pan, combine 1.5 cups of flour, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons milk. Mix with a fork. After a dough is formed, ball up the dough and press into the pan. Bring it up on the sides and pinch the top to form a pie crust (it doesn’t have to be perfect). Set aside.
Filling:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix 1.5 cups of milk, 4 eggs, sprinkle some salt & pepper, maybe a little garlic powder, and your favorite spice (i.e. paprika, nutmeg, cayenne pepper). Whisk together and pour into the pie crust. Add the ingredients you want. Ideas are: ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, cheese, onion, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, kale, parsley, zucchini, asparagus, bell peppers, broccoli, green onions. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until filling is set. Let sit for about 5 minutes, slice and serve. Note: It will take a really steady hand to get the quiche into the oven without mixing the two halves or the filling spilling over.
Mix up the milk, eggs, salt & pepper and whatever spices you like:
Pour into the pie crust:
Add the ingredients you want, then put it in the oven @ 375 for 30-40 min:
Here’s a quiche with a layer of cheese on top of all the ingredients,
instead of mixing it in. A nice golden brown!
