Quiche

Impress your guests or yourself with this simple quiche.  Excellent fresh out of the oven or reheated later.  You can use any combination of veg, meat or cheese.  If you're using mushrooms, I find it best to give them a quick saute on the stove.  The ingredient list below is just what's in this one and your "guide".

Here's what you'll need:

Deep Dish pie crust (you can buy frozen, follow package directions for one crust pie) or any pie crust you make or buy
6 eggs
4 T Milk
1 cup Heavy Cream
Handful of spinach, chopped
1/4 C combo diced peppers and onions
1/2 C meat (fry 8 slice so bacon and chop or buy a thick cut of deli ham and dice up)
1/2 - 1 C of cheese..haven't found a flavor that I haven't liked in quiche so just use your favorite
1 t Salt
1/2 t Pepper
1/4 t Cayenne

Layer your crust with meat, veg and spinach.

 Top with some cheese.  I used cheddar and jalapeno havarti.
 In a 2 cup measuring cup crack 6 eggs, add 4 T milk and then fill to the 
2 Cup mark with heavy cream.  
 Dump into a bowl, add salt, pepper and cayenne.  Whisk until combined.  At this point you can also mix in a small handful of shredded cheese, I used colby jack.
 Pour over your ingredients in the pie crust.  Use a fork to move the ingredients around (put fork lightly in, don't puncture crust and give a wiggle) so that the egg mixture fills in throughout the crust.
 Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes until the middle is set and the edges just slightly browned.

That's it.  I like mine topped with some Sriracha but you can eat it as is.  Enjoy!
