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

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
