mmm, quiche

[illicitlearning]

I made some quiches! Here is the recipe I used; I think it is pretty good.

You'll need:
A large mixing bowl (seriously. pretty big.)
Mixing spoon (for mixing the filling)
Whisk/fork (for beating eggs)
Pie tins (i used two, you don't have to)
Frying pan (for sautéing stuff)
A little butter (unless you wanna sauté using the bacon fat, which may or may not

sauteeing with bacon fat usually causes things to get brownish... for presentation, I suggest against it. That's me.

(My quiches stayed in for ~53 minutes, but really could have gone either way; how long you leave them in is up to your preference.)

~53?... so... it was within 30 seconds of 53 minutes... not around 50 minutes... or 55... but around 53... you shock me and seriously confuse the fuck out of me when you suddenly have neurosis in those ways. crazy. haha

Well, if they're gonna be in a quiche anyway, I don't think it'll really harm the presentation. If it screws up the taste or something, though, that's something to worry about.

And, yes, it was around 53. I baked them for 45, and when I checked them they were browned only on one side because the oven heated unevenly, so I rotated them and left them in another 8 minutes or so. Thus, 53 minutes.

i'm used to people being retarded and using bacon fat with eggs... which makes the whole thing look gross...
by people, I mean I made eggs that way once... exactly once. and have warned EVERYONE to never mix the two.

I was just shocked that you would use an uncertain term "~" when you were being specific... like... I cooked them for ~15 minutes and 34 seconds.

Mmm, crunchy egg edges.

The cheddar was barely noticeable due to the brie and gouda tastes being so strong, but I imagine you could really substitute any cheese you felt like. Maybe if you liked swiss you could get a *really* pungent quiche going :)
I don't see why not; though if you used especially strong-flavored mushrooms I wouldn't double them as I've suggested for the button. What mushrooms were you thinking?
It would require experimentation, but I could see other spices being quite good. Basil in particular would likely go quite well, but I don't know about tarragon. Try it and get back to me :)

Oh, and the amount for the brie is really just an estimate; I bought a wedge that was, I think, .53lbs, and then used ~3/4 of it. So feel free to fudge the brie.

8oz in a package. i'm thinking you could pretty much get away with using 8oz of everything in this quiche :P
