I'd been thinking of making a quiche for a while. I had a full carton of eggs that hadn't been opened, so I wanted to get rid of a lot of eggs at once. I'm not really a big egg person. Sometimes I do crave them for breakfast (or dinner), but it's rare. Quiche seems to be the exception for me.
My mom makes a delicious quiche, which is maybe why I put off trying to cook my own for so long. Hers is based on Linda McCartney's recipe in World of Vegetarian Cooking (an amazing cookbook you should own whether you're vegetarian or not). I hope Sir Paul McCartney still eats things mentioned in it. :)
I'm not exactly sure what my mom does with her recipe, but here's what I did to make this delicious dinner (that will turn into lunch and dinner tomorrow, too):
Ingredients:
1 cooked pie crust (I used a frozen one I bought at Trader Joe's)
½ onion, chopped
Handful of frozen mixed peppers (or any veggie you want)
4 extra-large free range eggs
1½ cups shredded cheese (I used a mix of mozzarella, gruyere and cheddar from TJ's)
Sea salt and black pepper
2/3 cup almond milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Sauté onion and veggies.
Whisk eggs and fold in onion, veggies and cheese.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the milk. Pour it all into your pie shell and bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
