We've all heard the old saying "Real men don't eat quiche". Well I've got to go against the grain every once in a while and say I really like quiche.
The temps have been pretty brisk around here lately(lower to mid 30's) and I wanted to fire up the kettle and do something cheap, quick, easy and tasty. So why not quiche I thought.
After rummaging around the freezer and fridge I found almost all the ingredients that I needed. The only one I needed to buy was the half-n-half.
First I fried up the bacon until it reached that crispy state:
Then tossed the broccoli and green onions into the pan to soften and get some added bacon flavor:
Inner fixings complete:
The store bought pie crust was placed into the oven to cook for a short time. I didn't want a soggy crust. Then the bottom is layed with cheddar cheese and finally the bacon, broccoli and onions.
The egg mixture is added next. 5 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of half-n-half, and a few sprinkles of parmesan cheese.
Then a little more cheddar added to the top:
And off to warm up in the kettle using the charcoal baskets:
About a half-n-hour later the quiche is firm on the outside and just a little jiggly in the center.
...and the sliced shot:
This is an excellent way to get rid of your leftovers - as you can fill it with almost anything. It also provides a break from the normal meal routine. Total prep time 20 min., cook time 30 to 40 min. I wasn't sure where to put this so I figured poultry - since it's an egg based meal, and eggs are one step away from being chickens. As usual any tips or criticisms are more then welcome.
Thanks for the look.
