Quiche

This is one of those amazingly easy recipes that you can toss together and feel good about; it will turn out delicious no matter what. Quiche is a French breakfast equivalent of 'empty your fridge' with eggs kind of dish, so while I chose to use these ingredients they don't have to be copied 100%

Ingredients:
  • deep pie shell
  • 4-5 large eggs
  • 1/2 pint of half and half (anything with less fat content won't taste as delicious)
  • 2oz. goat cheese
  • 2oz. Gruyere or smoked Gouda
  • 2-4 white mushrooms, sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • (optional) ground rosemary

Note: Cheeses can be changed out as long as one soft and one hard cheese is used. Also, the amount of cheese can be increased to your liking.

Preheat oven to 400F. You might need a cookie sheet to set the pie shell on so it doesn't overflow into the oven proper.

Roughly mix half and half with the eggs, add all spices, and set aside. In the pie shell set out the sliced up mushrooms, crumbled goat cheese and shredded Gruyere. Pour the mixture over it, stick the whole thing in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes. 

Quiche should be ready when the top is a lovely golden brown color. You may try sticking a toothpick in there as a test of readiness, though the cheese will most likely keep it gooey.

Enjoy!
