Tonight's Disaster: Quiche

Mama decided we [meaning me and sister] would make quiche for dinner using leftover ham.
Sister doesn't eat ham, so we made a mushroom and onion quiche for her.

What follows are the recipes I used for each quiche. I followed a half hand-written and half typed recipe. Following someone else's recipe is HARD. :-(


I forgot a few things in each recipe, so we'll see how they turn out. Quiches are in the oven as we speak.

Veggie Quiche (sister helped me make this one)

• two Portabella mushrooms sliced small
• 2/3 of a white onion chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard
• salt and pepper to taste
• cheddar cheese shredded
• mozzarella cheese shredded
• pre-made pie crust in tin

1. saute onions till almost caramelized
2. sautee mushrooms
3. place in bottom of pie crust
4. add handful of each cheese
5. mix salt, pepper, milk, eggs and mustard in bowl
6. pour over solid ingredients.
7. cook for 40 min @ 375F

NOTE: we had way too much liquid for the quiche, and it spilled everywhere as we were trying to get it into the oven. Also, forgot flour in this quiche.

Ham & Cheese Quiche

• small pieces of leftover ham (enough to cover the bottom of a pie tin)
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 tbs flour
• cheddar cheese (shredded)
• mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• pre-made pie crust in tin

I was in a hurry when I made this so I totally forgot a lot of ingredients (oops).

1. put ham and a handful of each cheese in pie tin
2. mix it around
3. put eggs, flour, milk in bowl
4. pour over dry ingredients
5. put in oven at 375F for 40 min

So if I had an ideal ingredient list it would look like this

• whatever you want to fill it with (veggies, ham, ect.)
• about 1.5 cups shredded cheese (any combo of cheddar, mozzarella, colby ect)
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp dried mustard
• 1 tbsp flour
• salt and pepper
• pie crust

I'll let you know how they turn out...


UPDATE:
So I guess tonight's dinner wasn't a disaster at all! Both quiches came out fine, although the veggie one was a tiny bit watery. Not bad enough to affect the deliciousness. Pictures coming soon.
