Quiche
A quiche is a fritatta in a pie crust, because fritattas stick like all get out no matter what else you do to them (in my experience). All of this, in turn, is a baked omlette, making it significantly easier to do four at the same time without anything exploding. They're also a solid protein base to revive leftovers that may be disappointing in quality or quantity.
Required Ingredients
- Deep Dish pie crust, the frozen kind
- 6 eggs
- milk, just a splash
- salt and pepper
Topping Set Ideas
(make sure to prepare these appropriately, in cases of meat and if you'd like veggies pre-cooked)
- Fresh cherry tomatoes and fresh baby spinach
- Ground beef and herb roasted potatoes
- Bell peppers and onions
- Leftover ratatouille
- Crumbled bacon or sausage
- Mushrooms and onions
- Diced ham
- Tons of shredded cheese (feel free to add this to any quiche contents)
- Leftover BBQ
- Leftover fajitas
- Favorite omlette fillings of any kind
- almost literally anything, for real. Pasta dishes get a little weird but aren't inedible. Maybe strain the juice off if you're using soup.
Process
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Put all of the eggs, salt and pepper, and the milk into a large bowl or blender. Blend or mix the absolute daylights out of it, until frothy.
- Pour the egg mix into the pie crust.
- Add any or all of the toppings, until the mix sits just below the edge of the crust.
- Bake for 45 minutes to an hour (or more, I like mine extra crispy!) until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
