Quiche

Tried a new dish tonight, QUICHE.  I have eaten quiche at restaurants but had not tried to make my own.
I chose a recipe out of my favorite cookbook, Better Homes and Garden Cookbook.

I think my greatest fear in making a quiche was the crust. Pie crust has always been one of my pastry weak points. Until this past Christmas when I discovered "Oil pie crust," my new no fail crust. This crust is always flaky and tender (no rolling only pressing into place) although not always pretty.

Who would have thought making a quiche would be so easy. Another wonderful way to use up some of the dozens of eggs we get every week. I used deli virginia ham (thinly sliced for lunchmeat) and spinach for one quiche and carrots and spinach for the other. The ham quiche was a super hit. The veggie quiche was acceptable but had to many carrots (made it kind of sweet).

I foresee many more quiche in our future, especially over the Summer as the garden bounty comes in.
