Working at home part of the time is a blessing in my book. But, it’s also a bit of a hindrance sometimes. Like today, when I haven’t bothered to pay attention to the time because I didn’t need to beat the traffic, etc. and, as a result, didn’t realize how late it was getting until my tummy started to growl.
That’s when I looked up and noticed that it’s getting dark outside … and I haven’t a clue what to fix for dinner, again. So, time for an old girl favorite that’s easy to fix …
Quicky Quiche!
Ingredients:
1 Small Onion, Diced
1 Cup Fresh Mushrooms, Diced
1 Small Can of Tuna or Diced Ham (or bacon or whatever you like)
2 Eggs (3 if Using a Deep Dish Crust)
1 Pie Crust (I use pre-made ’cause this is supposed to be easy)
1/3 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions …
Crack eggs into a medium size mixing bowl but don’t break the yolks. Coat pie crust with egg white and bake at 400° until dry (usually about 5 minutes).
Now, break the eggs and scramble them up a bit. Next, dump everything else in, and mix well.
Pour mixture into pie crust and bake at 400° for 30-40 minutes. The cook time depends on your oven … you know how that goes.
Good with a salad or, in colder months, a bowl of french onion soup. Hope you enjoy it as much as I always do.
PS: You might want to step out of the kitchen to finish your blog post and avoid burning your tongue. 😉
You so cool!!

Yum, delish. It’s been years since I made a quiche. I started skipping the crust because I was counting calories. Just butter the pie plate well. Don’t know if you’re any farther ahead, though.

But the crust is almost the best part!

Love the tip about brushing the crust with egg white. Is that so it doesn’t end up a soggy mess? Bet it would work for other recipes too.

Yep! The mixture is so liquid that if you don’t seal the crust it gets a really soggy bottom. Cooking time varies depending on how much “stuff” is in it, whether you use a deep dish crust, and, of course, your own oven. Thanks for stopping by!
