I love quiche! It is simply one of the best thing to have for breakfast. (In my case, it can last several breakfast! Just need to warm it up in a toaster oven in the morning while you make coffee <3) There are so many different combinations of ingredients that you can put in the quiche that I am sure everyone can find their own favorite quiche. Below is a recipe that I modified from a couple recipes I found online.
Ingredients
6 - 8 Slices of Thick-cut Bacon, diced (depending on how fat you want to be lol)
2 Tbsp Butter
1 Small Onion, very thinly sliced
2 Boxes of Brown Mushrooms, sliced
5 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream / Half & Half
1 Can of Artichoke/1 bag of Baby Spinach / Half bunch of Asparagus
1 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Whole Pie Crust
1. Preheat over to 400 degrees.
2. Fry the diced bacon, set aside.
3. Do not clean the pan and use the bacon grease to brown the onion.
(If you don't want to, then dump out the grease and use butter, but I am telling you, the grease is the good part :p)
4. Then, add the other ingredients, mushroom, artichokes or spinach and cook for a few minutes.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste, set aside to cool.
6. In the mean time, whip the eggs, cream, cheese, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
7. Add in the bacon, mushroom, artichokes to the mixture.
8. Add in the parsley.
9. Roll out the pie crust and press into a deep tart pan.
10. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust.
11. Cover loosely with foil and bake for at least 1 hour until firm.
12. Cool for 15 minutes before serve.
I usually like to make things from scratch, so I also made my own crust. You can always buy it to save the hassle, but it does taste better when you make it yourself!
Ingredients
1 Large Egg
3 cups All-purpose flour
1 Tbsp White Vinegar (lemon juice can be used as substitute)
1 1/2 Cup Crisco Vegetable Shortening
5 Tbsp Cold Water
1 teaspoon of Salt
1. Mix the salt with the flour in a large bowl.
2. In a large bowl, using a pastry blender/your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until it looks like a wet sand mixture.
3. In another bowl, beat an egg, then pour it into the flour mixture.
4. Add the water and vinegar, and mix the ingredients until the ingredients are incorporated.
5. This is enough for 2-3 pies, so I separate the dough into halves and freeze one of them for next use.
