Recipe Box, Pot ‘o Gold Quiche

the Painted Apron

6 years ago

I am in a St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ mood this week

and want to share this delicious quiche with you today

I love to make quiche, not only does it taste wonderful,

it’s actually very easy to make,

you can use whatever you have on hand

and it’s a one dish meal…that checks a lot of boxes for me!

I have a basic formula for quiche

Place a pie crust dough round in a deep pie/quiche dish

Fill it up with whatever you like

Add 4 oz grated cheese {optional}

Finish with a mixture of 4 eggs and 1 cup of milk or cream

🥦 + 🌽 + 🧅 + 🥓 + 🧀 + 🥚 + 🥛 = 🥧

You don’t even have to cook the spinach or asparagus!

You can roast the onion along with the bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet

400 degrees for 20 minutes, drain well and toss the greasy parchment away

Next came the “gold nuggets”

and the secret “lucky” ingredient

Beer Cheese Soup!

This Beer Cheese Soup is sooo good,

I found it at my local Piggly Wiggly

but you can use any cheese soup

or substitute a cup of grated cheese

After the soup or cheese goes in, add the egg mixture

Top with Parmesan and bake

Baking times can vary, so check after 40 minutes and remove when it is set in the middle

Let sit 15 minutes before slicing

It is a rainbow on your plate!
