everything but the kitchen quiche
This Quiche is fast, delicious, and freezes beautifully. You can put just about anything in it... This is a small farm, and we rarely do food small here, so I made four today because I have 8 dozen eggs to use up and gotta start somewhere... :)

How To Make everything but the kitchen quiche
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
-
Step 2Remember, after the pie shell, all the ingredients are optional. It just depends on what you want to make.
-
Step 3First, whip the cream until you get peaks. As if you were making whipped cream for a dessert, only no sugar.
-
Step 4While the cream is whipping crack your eggs into another bowl and whisk them good. Like scrambled eggs.
-
Step 5Once the cream has reached the desired texture, turn your beater on low, and slowly incorporate the eggs.
-
Step 6This recipe makes TWO standard pie sized quiches. Half fill your prepared pie pans/crusts with your egg/cream mixture. Sprinkle desired seasonings in each.
-
Step 7Add your choice of chopped ingredients, 1/4 c of each to a prepared pie. For instance: for a spinach, onion, mushroom quiche, here I would add 1/4 c mushrooms, 1/4 c spinach, 1/4 c onion (all finely chopped and spread to cover the egg mixture).
-
Step 8Finish filling the pie shells the rest of the way with egg/cream mixture.
-
Step 9Sprinkle 1/4 c grated cheese over the top of each, if desired.
-
Step 10Bake for 15 minutes on the middle rack. Drop the temperature to 350 degrees F, and bake another 25-30 minutes. Quiche is done when knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
-
Step 11Allow quiches to set up out of the oven for 10 minutes before serving.
-
Step 12To reheat: Thaw quiche for 1/2 hour on the counter and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.
