Quiche Lorraine

Last week's New Menu Item

Quiche Lorraine

Source

While a tasty item, we have run into a dilemma. Sir Sunderland was raised eating quiche as a breakfast dish and I was raised eating it as a dinner dish. We both agree it's not great enough to become a staple item, but nice to have once and awhile, just for breakfast or dinner? Quite the predicament!

Enough of our issues now, for the recipe!

Quiche Lorraine a la Cleaning out the Fridge

Pre-bought frozen pie crust

Half and Half (or whatever milk you have in fridge)

1 cup grated Swiss cheese

Ham, Bacon, turkey, the possibilities are endless

3 eggs

Nutmeg to taste

Salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 450.  Take pie crust out of freezer, set aside. Mix together eggs, half and half and spices. Add cheese and mix. Line bottom of pastry crust with meat and pour mixture on top. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
