Recipe: Quiche

I could never find a quiche recipe that I liked until I found this recipe in a magazine. I like this because it is simple and tastes great as well.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 9 inch frozen pie shell (I just use boughten)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and pour into frozen pie shell. Brush 1 Tbsp. egg mixture over crust. Add whatever you like, such as grated cheese, mushrooms, peppers, ham, bacon, etc. Bake for 30 to 33 minutes in 400 degree F oven until knife inserted comes out clean.

I save the tinfoil pans from the little frozen chicken pies and make individual quiches when I'm in a cooking mood. I bake them and freeze them and just pop them in the microwave for a quick and easy lunch. A box of pie crust mix, 2 1/2 cups milk, 10 eggs, 3/4 tsp. salt and 3/4 tsp. pepper will make 15.
