Boyfriendly quiche

Posted on | June 23, 2008 | | Printer Friendly

This is one of the definining recipes in our household. I made it for my “new boyfriend” over three years ago and today we are celebrating our one year wedding anniversary! This recipe works. Miracles. The clincher for us was sending the boy off with an extra slice for his lunch the next day. It was the classic boy trifecta “trap”: cheese, meat and pastry.

The funny thing is - it’s so ridiculously easy. (Unlike finding a date in Ottawa!) So, if you think you’ve found a “keeper”, whip up this meal and let the cheese do the work. It’s a pretty flexible recipe - this time I added some leftover asparagus and back bacon. Sometimes, I add onions, spinach or broccoli. Use what you’ve got. It all tastes like cheese and nutmeg in the end. MMM.

Boyfriendly rating: Off the scale.

Ingredients:

1 - 9″ pie shell (the frozen kind will do)
4 eggs
Slices of crumbled bacon (I used Canadian back bacon.)
Toss in optional veggies: spinach, asparagus, broccoli etc…
1 cup of evaporated milk
1 cup of shredded Guyere and Swiss cheese
3-4 green onions
3/4 tsp nutmeg
Dash of salt and pepper

Whisk eggs, millk, onions, meat and spices together. Pour the liquid mixture into the pie shell. Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes. I like to place the quiche on a baking sheet, just in case there’s some bubbling over.
