Recipe of the week

Quiche

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Ingredients:

1 ready made roll out pie shell
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground white pepper (black is fine too)
pinch of ground nutmeg
about 1/2 tsp dried basil
about 1/2 cup grated cheese, preferably Gruyere or swiss

meats:
your choice of shredded chicken, or lunch meat or about 4 slices cooked bacon, cut into small pieces or combination thereof

frozen spinach, thawed (enough to cover half of the bottom of pan)

Directions:

Place pie shell in quiche dish or pie dish. Heat in oven for about 6 minutes or just until golden brown. Be sure to have enough hang over on edges bcse it tends to shrink down and will then allow the mixture to get under the crust...making for a soggy quiche.

Meanwhile, mix all ingredients, except for meats, cheese and spinach in bowl.

When pie shell is ready place spinach, cheese and meat, evenly over bottom of quiche. If you have too much of these ingredients, you won't have room for the liquid mixture. It should be just enough to cover bottom of quiche.

Then place that on oven rack and gently pour mixture into tart pan. Gently slide rack into oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes. It should be golden brown to dark brown on top and not jiggly in the middle!

Serve w/sauteed green beans seasoned w/salt, pepper, and lots of butter. Add some whole or slivered almonds into it!

Bon appetit!
