Quiche is a great way to use up ingredients hanging around your fridge. Feel free to substitute in whatever you have. Any kind of cheese, veggie or meat. Quiches are very forgiving.
Ingredients:
1 Pie Crust (store bought or homemade)
1-2 Tbs olive oil, butter or bacon drippings
about 3 cups total of any kind of combination of veggie you’d like, chopped into small dice this could include:
onion
bell pepper
mushrooms
broccoli
cauliflower
zucchini
spinach
anything you have in your fridge will be delicious — use what you love!
1 cup meat of choice, chopped/diced:
leftover ham
taco meat
breakfast sausage
cooked chicken
bacon
again, anything you have that you like will probably be delicious
1 tsp salt and pepper
8-10 Slices Canadian Bacon, chopped (can be left out if making it vegetarian)
5 Eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Direction:
Preheat oven to 375. Unroll Pie crust and line a deep dish pie dish with crust and cover the bottom with half the cheese, enough to cover the bottom.
If using bacon, dice it and saute in a skillet until crisp. Remove bacon and fat drippings. Wipe pan with a paper towel. Add 1-2 Tbs bacon fat back to hot pan. If using butter or oil, just add that to the pan and bring up to medium high heat.
Saute the veggies for 3-5 minutes, season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat mix with your meat and spread over your crust on top of the cheese. Sprinkle bacon (if using) over your veggie mixutre.
In another bowl whisk together the eggs, milk and dijon then pour into pie.
Sprinkle with more cheese.
Place on top of a baking sheet (if you’re worried about it spilling over) and bake for 35-45 minutes, until eggs mixture is puffed and firm and crust is golden. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
