Life is good here in the Feasby house. Julia turned in all of her homework today AND got a B+ on a science test. If you know my family, you know that is almost a miracle. I had a marvelous day at work today, and my mom is going home tomorrow. I will be going to her house each afternoon to help her out, and am looking forward to spending the time with her.
The weather is gorgeous today, Julia says her shoulder feels a lot better, and Caitlin is doing great on her mid terms. I worked out again after work today and am doing pretty well cutting out the sugar and white flour. I would call today a great day.
I made this delicious quiche a few weeks ago. It is full of everything I love, cheese, eggs, pie crust, and vegetables. Maybe you have never tries quiche, you should, it is pretty fabulous; creamy, cheesy, and melts in your mouth. The crust is flaky and delicious.
Bacon and vegetable quiche
Pie crust:
1 1/4 cups flour, sifted.
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold shortening
1 tsp white vinegar
2 1/2 TBS ice cold water
Mix all ingredients with a pastry blender. Add more water, 1 drop at a time, if needed until dough comes together and forms a ball. I wrap mine in saran wrap and put in the refrigeration for a few minutes.
Quiche:4 eggs
1/2 cup half and half
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Mix all of these ingredients well.
Choose the cheese of your choice and saute' the vegetables of your choice. You will need 1/2 cup. I used onions, diced tomato, and bacon. Mix in a few snipped chives for color.
Roll out pie crust and place into a deep dish pie pan. Brush crust with egg white. Sprinkle crust with cheese, use a little more if you'd like. Sprinkle with vegetables, pour egg mixture into crust. The crust will be very full.
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes until it looks golden brown like the picture. The center should jiggle slightly. If you notice the crust getting too dark, cover the edges with foil. Allow the quiche to sit a few minutes to set up before cutting.
happy eating!
