Quick and Easy Quiche {Eggland’s Best brunch kit giveaway}
It’s their second year doing this, so you’ve probably seen the pink cartons at your store. From September 15th through November 15th, for every pink carton of Eggland’s Best eggs sold, a donation will be made to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure up to $50,000.
For my party, I prepared a couple of variations of quiche based on a basic recipe from The Tightwad Gazette III that I’ve been making for years.
Quick and Easy Quiche
Ingredients:
1 pie shell, either premade or homemade (I used a frozen gluten free pie crust since several of my guest are GF.)
- 4 whole eggs
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice – cheddar, Swiss, etc. I used a Mexican cheese blend.)
- 1-2 cups filling (vegetables and/or meats – I used yellow, orange and red cherry tomatoes)
Directions:
Prepare the crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
Preheat over to 425 degrees.
Grate cheese and prepare the filling ingredients.
Beat eggs, milk and seasonings together until just combined.
Spread filling ingredients on the crust. Top with grated cheese and cover with the egg/milk mixture.
Bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees. Then turn the oven down to 350 degrees and make for an additional 45 minutes or until it’s done.
This Mama’s tips
There are all kinds of healthy (whole wheat, gluten free, organic and spelt) premade pie crusts in the freezer section of many health food stores. While they’re twice as expensive as conventionally made pie crusts, they’re worth it.
To lower fat and calories, use 4 whole eggs and 4 egg whites (or the equivalent if you’re using liquid egg whites from the carton)
Adjust salt keeping in mind the saltiness of your cheese.
Ideas for meats include ham, chicken, bacon, soy crumbles, etc.
Ideas for veggies include tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, etc. Use any cooked or steam veggies but squeeze out excess liquid so you don’t have a runny quiche.
You can also use cream, half and half or evaporated milk instead of skim milk. I’ve never tried soy, rice or coconut milk, but if you’re milk-free give them a try.
