Eggs two ways

Here is a basic quiche recipe that you can use as a base for yummy variations:

QUICHE

1 pie shell

1 1/2 c. grated cheese

1 1/2 c. milk

5 eggs

3 tbsp. flour

3/4 tsp. salt

Fresh or dried herbs

Place grated cheese on the unbaked pie shell. If you are adding additional ingredients, spread them evenly over the cheese. Then whiz remaining ingredients in blender and pour over cheese. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven 40-45 minutes, until lightly golden and puffy.

Now for the variations…

Mix and match as you see fit.

Chopped and sauteed spinach, broccoli, asparagus, onions, leeks, zucchini, mushrooms or other veggies

Chopped and sauteed soy or regular sausage or bacon

Chopped tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes (oil-drained)

salsa, pesto, spices

You can also vary the herbs and cheeses or top with a sprinkling of paprika.

 

No time to fuss with a crust? Make this easy frittata:
