In quiche you didn't know

As a gardener, I am always trying think of new recipes that use the produce I grow. One of my favorite dishes is the Quiche. I love how versatile it is, you can add almost anything to it to make the recipe your own. This one of our favorite variations.


Kitchen Sink Quiche

4 eggs

3/4 cup milk 

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup gouda cheese

1/2 cup white cheddar cheese

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

1 cup cooked broccoli, mashed

1 chopped onion, caramelized in olive oil

1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 Tbsp basil leaves, chopped

1 1/4 tsp thyme leaves, chopped

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 single pie crust

Pre-bake your pie crust. Sprinkle the gouda and cheddar cheeses onto the hot pie crust. Caramelize the onion, take off the heat and add the herbs. Spread the onion mixture on top of the cheese, the broccoli on top of the cheese, and the  meat on top of the broccoli. In a large bowl scramble the eggs and milk together, add the garlic powder, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and mix to combine. Pour egg mixture over the crust and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before eating.

I hope you enjoy the recipe!
