Basic Quiche

A few weeks ago my little sister, Ashley made some quiches. I got the recipe from her and decided to make 2 quiches to have for breakfast for the next few days.

Basic Quiche Recipe

By: Ashley

1 9in. pie crust
1 tbs. olive oil
2 med. onions, chopped
3/4 cup of half & half
salt & pepper
1 cup chopped parsley
4 eggs
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
8 oz. grated cheese (2 cups)

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place crust in pan and put on a baking sheet. Heat oil in skillet, add onions & 1/2 tsp. of salts & pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Whisk eggs, half & half, nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. of salt. Stir in onion mixture and cheese. Pour into crust. Brush edges with egg white or cover edges with foil to prevent burning. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

You can stir in frozen spinach before baking, if you'd like to. Or, you can brown up some sausage and then add it to the mixture. If you add sausage, you can fill 2 pie shells and make 2 quiches.

For my quiches I did it a little differently....

2 9-inch pie crusts

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion

1 green pepper

6 eggs

3 tbsp parsley flakes

salt and pepper

1/8 tsp nutmeg

Milk (I used a little more than 3/4 cup)

1 tsp unsalted butter (melted)

pkg of cheese

sausage (cooked)

bacon (cooked)

I pretty much followed Ashley's process. I brushed the crust with some egg wash and baked the quiches on 350 degrees for about 35 min.

Serve alone or with a dollop of sour cream! YUM!! :)
