How to get a man to eat quiche

Put meat in it, and no veggies. :)

Here’s my quiche recipe. It started as a spinach and bacon quiche, but by substituting the spinach with chicken, it became something we both will eat for dinner. I kind of morphed a couple of different recipes into this one.

Spinach and Bacon Quiche

  • 1 pie crust, pre-baked or partially baked
  • 1/4 large onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz. frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 Tbsp. margarine
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 4 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Heat skillet over medium heat; sauté onion and spinach in margarine 5-7 minutes or until onion is softened.

Whisk eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in spinach/onion mixture, cheese, and bacon. Pour into pie crust.

Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or just until set. (If necessary, cover edge of pie crust with ring of foil to prevent over-browning.) Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Variation—Chicken and Bacon Quiche: omit spinach and sauté onion by itself. In place of spinach, stir in 1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded cooked chicken.

    Way to go! That does sound yummy….

    One time I made Jim quiche b/c it looked easy and I thought he had said it was his favorite. Turns out, he had said it was his LEAST favorite and that he HATED it as a kid. Oops.

    i have something very sad i’ve been dealing with. a quiche aversion. it is very sad to me. because i used to love the stuff with a passion. last year when i was super sick with jibbers, i made quiche and it did not have a happy ending. i tried it again after jib jib came and ugh. can we all pause for a moment of silence?

    thanks.

    i don’t feel any better.

    i’m glad your blog is a place i can get things off my chest.

    bye for now.

    ps…are you charging me for this?

    Oh, that is sad. My SIL is like that with barbeque, and her child is 16 months old. I hope you get over it!

    I charge $175 an hour. I’ll be looking for your check in the mail. Or I’ll accept payment in jewelry. :)

    I love quiche anyway I can get it. Vegetables, meat, doesn’t matter. :)
