Quiche
Ingredients
- 9- or 10-in pie crust
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 - 1/3 pound grated cheese (Gruyere is best; cheddar is good too)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup light cream (or half and half)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 5 or 6 bacon strips, cut into 1-inch pieces and cooked
- 1/4 pound sliced ham, fried slightly (brings out flavor)
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped and sauteed in butter
- 10 ounces mushrooms, sliced and sauteed in butter
- 1 bunch spinach, chopped, steamed, and drained
Instructions
Beat egg white slightly, and spread a thin layer of egg white over uncooked pie crust. Prebake the pie crust at 425 F (400 for a glass pan) for 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Place cheese in crust. Add one or more of the fillings (about 1 - 1 1/2 cups filling(s) total). Mix eggs, both kinds of cream, and spices. Pour gently on top of cheese and filling(s). Bake at 375 F (350 for glass pan) for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
