Quick Quiche is Cool Summer MealMake This Easy Recipe for a Classic Quiche for Hot Weather Dining
When it's too hot to cook, this make-ahead quiche recipe is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, picnics or a backyard get together with friends.
It’s hot and sticky and the last thing you want to do is stand in the kitchen making dinner. When it’s even too hot to light the grill, you need quiche relief. Quiche originated in the French province of Lorraine and is essentially a baked egg and cream pie. However, the beauty of quiche is its versatility. For breakfast, it’s like an egg and bacon casserole in a crust. For lunch or dinner, it goes great with steamed veggies, a tossed salad or fresh fruit. The French, of course, serve quiche with pommes frites (French fries). There’s no right or wrong for what to include in a quiche. The classic quiche Lorraine is eggs, bacon and cream, but ingredients can be whatever suites your taste. Most people agree that some variety of cheese is essential and usually a meat such as cooked ham, bacon or bulk sausage, although you can stick with just the veggies if you wish. Be creative and let you imagination soar. Quiche makes a great take-along item for a pot-luck buffet, a picnic, on the boat or at the beach. Refrigerate after baking and keep it cool until you’re ready to eat. Normally a simple dish to make, this recipe is even easier, using a frozen pie shell, precooked, bottled bacon and a bag of shredded cheese. For a healthier quiche, use fat free half and half and cheese made with 2% or skim milk. Quick and Easy Quiche(pre-heat oven to 400 degrees) You’ll need:
