J'adore la quiche!!!


Quiche is really an easy and impressive dish!  It can be many different flavors, so I'm going to give you the basics and you should modify it with your favorite flavors.  My favorite quiche is spinach, swiss cheese, onions, and bacon.  However, Quiche Lorraine is delicious too; it's cheese, onions, and ham or bacon.  The important thing to know when making quiche is saute the onions before adding them, so that they release some of their liquid. Another trick I have learned is to insert a tooth pick into the center of the quiche;  when it comes out clean, the quiche is done.

You will need....
  • 1 frozen pie crust
  • 1 tbsp spoon of dijon mustard
  • 3 eggs
  • 1.5 cups of light cream
  • salt and pepper
  • and whatever fillings you want to add.  Again, don't add anything that's too watery.
Here is my recipe for spinach, bacon, cheese and onions...  (If you have extra, make another quiche... they freeze well.)
  • You will need the ingredients mentioned above.
  • about 1 cup of frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 cup of swiss cheese, shredded.
  • 1 small onion, diced and sauted until soft and browning
  • about 6 slices of chopped cooked bacon
  • 3-4 thin slices of tomato
1. Preheat the oven to 400F
2. Cook the onion as mentioned above
3. Spread dijon mustard into the pie crust with a basting brush
4. Whisk together cream and eggs
5. Add the cooked bacon, onions, cheese and frozen spinach to the egg and cream mixture. Then salt and pepper and stir well.
6. Pour mixture into the pie crust.
7. Sprinkle with cheese and spread the tomato slices on top.
8. Bake for about 35-45 mins... until golden brown and the tooth pick is coming out clean.
9. Allow time to cool then Enjoy!!!
