Quiche

Quiche
1 ready-made pie crust
6-10 eggs
1/4-1/2 c. milk, cream or half and half
veggies of your choice: mushrooms, peppers, spinach, onions, tomatoes, zucchini...
meats of your choice: cooked ham, sausage, or bacon
cheeses of your choice: swiss, cheddar, mozzarella, colby...
salt and pepper to taste

Unroll the pie crust into a greased pie plate, rolling and pinching the edges under. Beat the eggs and milk together, add any combination of chopped veggies, meats and cheeses. (If I'm using mushrooms or peppers I will saute them with the onion before adding them to the egg mixture to bring out the flavors).

Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes or until pie crust is brown on the bottom and center of the quiche is no longer runny.

Note: About 3-5 minutes before the quiche is baked, it puffs up.

This recipe is incredibly forgiving--any combination tastes great--use whatever you have on hand!
My favorite combinations: spinach, onions, ham, swiss cheese bacon, cheddar, onions, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers--pretty much anything in my fridge!
