Quiche, comfort food...
To fuel us for the long drive back to Temecula, I whipped up my world famous, albeit super easy, quiche. I wanted to share.
FYI about this delicious dish: Quiche became popular in the U.S. during the 1950's. Because of its primarily vegetarian ingredients, it was considered a somehow 'unmanly' dish, - "real men don't eat quiche" -a popular saying and book satirizing stereotypes of masculinity. In the 80's, my brother was quick to point out, "But they do eat egg and cheese pie."
Preheat oven to 400.
Saute onions (I use about a 1/4 cup. this is up to your taste) in olive oil.
3 eggs mixed with 1/3 cup milk, salt & pepper to liking
12 oz of veggies (I use a bag of Bird's Eye Steamfresh Vegetables- broccoli, carrots,
snap peas, water chestnut blend) cooked as directed and drain well.
4 oz. can diced green chiles, drained
8 oz Mexican blend, pepper jack and cheddar cheese
Mix all together in bowl. Put in a deep dish frozen pie crust.
Put in heated oven on a piece of aluminum foil just in case of over flow.
You can add anything you want to the base egg mixture. Different cheeses. Meats. Crab. Anything.
Bake at 400 for +/- 45 minutes (center should be firm). Turn oven off and let sit in oven for 5-10 min. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
