Quiche

Cook Time 45 minutes
Course Breakfast
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 1 deep dish pie shell
  • 1 1/2 c half and half cream
  • 3/4 c cheese (swiss, emmental, gruyere, cheddar)
  • assorted vegies like onion, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, asparagus
  • assorted meat like ham, bacon or even crab meat
  • 1 tsp salt, pepper, garlic powder
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper or chilli flakes

Instructions
 

  • I use a store boughten frozen deep dish pie shell, but hand made pastry will work!
  • Beat the eggs well. Add salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne/chilli flakes. Add in the cream. Set aside.
  • Chop your favorite ingredients like bacon, mushrooms and broccoli, or ham, mushroom, red onions, and spinach.
  • Let the pie shell sit room temperature for a few minutes and then poke the pie shell with a fork so it doesn't bubble when it cooks.
  • Add approximately 1/4 c each of your chosen ingredients to the pie shell. Add 3/4 cup of cheese.
  • Add the egg and cream mixture overtop your filling in the pie shell.
  • Bake for 45 to 60 min in a preheated 350 degree oven until cooked through.

Notes

I place my quiche on a tin foil lined baking sheet to avoid spills in the oven.
Use your imagination with your ingredients and cheese.  Find your favorite combination!
