It’s unfortunate that I only learned of what a Quiche is a few months ago… they’re SO GOOD! My sis and I made one tonight for dinner. I don’t really know what the “right way” to make a quiche is, I just dump everything into a bowl and pour it in a pie shell =)
You can pretty much put whatever you want in it so if there’s one item you like in particular (mushrooms for me!) put more if it in. I used heavy cream because I didn’t have half and half, and a small bar of medium cheese. I also like slicing up the mushroom instead of dicing them.
For a lighter quiche, add a bit of milk into the mixture.
Quiche
Makes 2 quiches
One pack of ham
One bunch of Broccoli
Two onions
6 mushrooms
200g block of cheese
2 frozen pie shells
7-8 eggs
~1/2 cup half and half cream
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare the frozen pie crust according to box.
2. Dice the ham, onions and mushrooms. Cut off the florets of the broccoli and dice the stem
3. In large bowl, combine items in #2. Add eggs and cream until the liquid almost covers the items in #2.
4. Grate half a block of cheese and add to the egg mixture.
5. Cut the remaining cheese into thin slices to layer the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust.
7. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F, and bake for 25 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is set.
This recipe is totally flexible, you really can’t go wrong with it!
