This morning when I walked into the kitchen to prepare a little breakfast I glanced over at a package of bacon and decided to bake a quiche for dinner. Quiche Lorraine is one of my favorite pies. I tend to bake it for breakfast or brunch but recently I’ve gone through some weird change that has blurred the breakfast/lunch/dinner boundaries. Now I can eat savory pasta leftovers for breakfast and a bowl of cereal for dinner and be completely content.
The Quiche Lorraine recipe I used was found in my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook….I adjusted it slightly to my liking. It’s simple, quick and delicious!
In a medium bowl I combined 12 slices of crumbled turkey bacon, 1 medium diced onion, 4 eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of 2% milk, 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, a dash of black pepper and 1-1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese. I poured the mixture into a deep dish pie shell that had been baked in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
The quiche was baked in a 325 degree oven for 45 minutes. After adding some fresh fruit, dinner was pretty satisfying. Now I’m wondering what will inspire my dinner for tomorrow night…I’m open to suggestions so feel free to leave some.
Thanks for stopping by!!
