Wow there is absolutely nothing going on here on Spruce Hill. With the exception of a 24 hour stomach bug I had yesterday, UG. (I am feeling much better today!)
I thought I would do a cooking post to kick off the weekend with. This quiche recipe it my absolute favorite and I never make it any other way.
The ingredients...
1 cup of whipping cream
6 eggs beaten
1/2 tsp salt
a dash of cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups of grated swiss cheese
1/4 cup chopped onions
These are my basic ingredients. I usually add a meat or a veggie to the quiche. Ham, sausage, bacon, what ever I have in the fridge. You can also add spinach or even crab meat to it. It is a very versatile recipe and can be changed around per your tastes.
Mix all the liquid ingredients and seasonings together in a bowl. Do not over mix it, I just whisk it together.
use your favorite pastry pie crust recipe. I do not have one that I love so I usually use a pre-made crust(gasp). It is easy and quick and it saves me a lot of time. If anyone has a good recipe please let me know. I have yet to find the perfect one.
place your grated cheese, onions and what ever filling you choose to put in your quiche in you pastry crust. Sprinkle it around and make sure it is all evenly distributed. Pour the egg mixture over the filling ingredients. You can add a bit more cheese on the top if you like.
Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until it starts to get nice and brown on top. After it comes out of the oven let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will make it easier to cut and serve.
I hope you enjoy this quiche as much as I do.
This actually looks easy and good. Will have to try it (since nothing going on here also!)

I love Quiche...love it. I use the Pillsbury refrig pie crust. I saute mushrooms and shallots.
I also have a recipe that bakes a brown rice 'crust' that is really good as a Quiche.
Yummy....I know what is for dinner tonight.
