A Simple Quiche
The Quiche has a bad reputation - and yes, if done right, men do love it! This simple dish is almost infinitely variable and is one of my favorite recipes, and can suit nearly any taste by the vegetables and meats that are included in the quiche. From a delicious breakfast quiche to a savory vegetarian dish, this dinner will impress everyone, and leave the cook plenty of time to talk and visit with the guests instead of slaving in the kitchen. Best of all, the veggies and meats are included; serve with some rolls or some other bread and all the bases are covered!
The
recipe here will use the ingredients found below, but they can be substituted
by the meat & veggies of your choice – this is one of my favorite
formulations of this quick and easy dish, though. This dish also makes a great
vegetarian dish!
Cook all meats completely before cooking the quiche!
Sausage
(ground Neese’s is what I like best, but you can also use Italian Sausage, or
any type of bratwurst. On those types, cook the sausage completely and then cut
them into small bite sized chunks)
Green
beans or Snow Peas
Purple/Red
Onions
Broccoli
or slices of red or yellow bell peppers
Cheddar
Cheese
Munster
or another soft white cheese
Eggs
Milk
1
Deep Dish Pie Pan (frozen or scratch made, in deep pie tin)
Saute the veggies before making the pie; start with the onions, and cook them the
longest; cook the peas/beans and broccoli so they are just barely cooked. Cook all
veggies in a frying pan with butter or olive oil (the peas/beans and broccoli
will finish cooking inside the pie).
Take
the veggies and the meat, and make a layer in the bottom of the pie crust, then
add a layer of grated cheese (mix the varieties). Do a second and a third layer until
the meat, veggies and cheese come even with the top of the pie crust.
Mix
eggs and milk together (usually three eggs) until they are the same consistency
as what you would mix for scrambled eggs. Pour this mixture into the pie pan
until the egg mixture is even with the top of the meat and veggie layers. Cover
with tinfoil, bake for about 45 – 60 minutes in a oven preheated to 375.
The eggs can overrun the pie crust if filled to high, so place the pie crust on a tin foil lined cookie sheet. Cook until the eggs are done or nearly done, then uncover the pie crust, put on a final layer of cheese and cook another 20-30 minutes
until the top layer of cheese is a golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes then cut into slices and serve!
Even though we are a music store Gastonia players have relied on for years, as a pawn shop Gastonia residents depend on we occasionally get very good deals on KitchenAid mixers and other high end kitchen appliances and equipment!
