Quiche is a great meal any time of day, and can be easily adapted with many ingredients you may have in your home. This recipe includes broccoli and mushrooms, but those can easily be substituted for other veggies or meats.
Ingredients:
Pie Crust:
1 1/2 C Flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 C (hard) Crisco shortening
A couple tablespoons of water
Filling:
Small head of broccoli
6-8 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 C shredded cheese
6 eggs
1 C milk
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
To make the crust, begin by mixing together flour and salt.
Cut in 1/4 cup of the shortening until the mixture has a “fine crumb” consistency.
Cut it another 1/4 cup of shortening until it has a “course crumb” consistency.
Add a small amount of water- somewhere around 2 tablespoons- until you can form dough into a nice smooth ball.
Roll it out and lay over a 9.5 inch pie pan.
** The secret to success with a homemade crust is to not over-mix when adding the shortening as well as the water. **
Steam broccoli and saute mushrooms as you would with any meal.
Place cooked broccoli and mushrooms over the uncooked pie crust in the pan. Cover with shredded cheese.
Beat together eggs and milk. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper in. Pour over ingredients in the pie crust.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.
