this could be vegetarian, and i suspect some creative vegans out there might be able to make it vegan.

me, i'm in it for the eggs and what will likely be sausage or bacon.

Sparky's Quiche
Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups of half n half
1 cup of Swiss or Gruyere, shredded
1 cup of sharp cheddar, shredded
2 or 3 Tbs of flour
1 9inch pie shell
salt & pepper to taste
half a carton of pre-sliced mushrooms (cooked)
half a bag of spinach (cook to wilted consistency)
(you can add any kind of pre-cooked ingredients here, use your best judgment as to amounts. typical things you find in quiche are: bacon, onions, peppers, sausage, sprouts &ct.)

Instructions:
1) beat the eggs and half'n'half together in one medium bowl
2) in a smaller bowl mix the cheeses and flour with the salt and pepper
3) arrange the pie crust in a 9inch pie pan
4) place all your pre-cooked ingredients (mushrooms, spinach, meats...) in the bottom of the pan
5) add the cheese and other dry ingredients on top of the pre-cooked ones
6) then pour the egg mix in on top
7) bake in an oven for 20-30mins at 350 degrees or until the top is lightly brown and you can stick a fork/toothpick in and it comes out clean
8) let sit to cool for 5-10 mins so that slices come away clean.
9) divvy up and enjoy!

i suspect, of course, that you could enjoy this dish cold. but i liked it a lot hot. i also noticed that you could skip the pie crust and baking entirely and pour some of the egg/milk/cheese/spinach/mushroom mixture into a frying pan and come away with a very tasty and fluffy scrambled egg thing.

when i make this dish i will finally be trying my hand at a new recipe that isn't a dessert, thus beginning to fulfill my 101 in 1001 goal of cooking five meals from recipe that aren't desserts.

:)

recipes, cooking
