Quiche for Brunch

For the last few weeks I have been craving quiche something fierce, it has taken a while for me to have a little time to actually make this. I have found that a small quiche or either a small egg soufflé is good for lunch. I really enjoy having quiche.

I am going to share the recipe with you because I don't really have a whole lot else to share for the day... I guess this is what happens when you finally settle into a city and then there isn't a whole lot that happens in the city. I am trying to get out more in the city and enjoy what is going on here in Dallas while I am here. I am not planning on leaving but I want to make sure that I take advantage of the time that I have here before that time is up.

Pie Crust

1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c shortening
4-5 Tbsp Ice cold water

1- Mix together flour and salt, cut in the shortening until it looks like oatmeal
2- Add ice cold water and then knead the dough for just a few times
3- Roll the dough into a log and cut into four equal parts.
4- Roll one out and wrap the remaining dough chunks in seran wrap and store in the freezer.

Quiche

2 eggs
2/3 milk (or half-n-half)
cheddar cheese
diced mushroom
sausage chunks that are cooked

Mix all of these ingredients together and pour into the pie shell or a greased ramekin (I used pam). Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until the center is set (i.e. a knife inserted comes out clean).

*You know that you should have waited just a tad longer if the eggs are just a tad soft... that happened to me this time.

This was a great brunch on Sunday. I wish that I had cooked them just a few minutes longer but they were super yummy. I think in the next few weeks I am going to look for a different dish to put the quiche in, perhaps a small tart pan. I am not quite sure what I am going to look for but if I find something cool I will be sure to show you a picture of it. Do you love quiche?
