Tweedle’s Quiche – Easy Summer Dinner
Serve with a salad:
“Tweedle’s Quiche”
8 slices bacon (ham, steak, any meat or seafood of choice), crisply cooked, crumbled (1/2 cup)
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup chopped green onion
4 large eggs
2 cups whipping cream or half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1. I use a store bought, already prepared pie dough. I unroll this into a 9″ pie pan or square dish.
2. Sautee chopped green onion until golden brown
3. Carefully line pastry with a double thickness of foil, gently pressing foil to bottom and side of pastry. Let foil extend over edge to prevent excessive browning. Bake 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil and bake 2 to 4 minutes longer or until pastry just begins to brown and has become set. If crust bubbles, gently push bubbles down with back of spoon.
4. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly; beat in bacon, cheese and onion and remaining filling ingredients. Pour into pie pan.
5. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Also, great served cold with a nice glass of medium dry white wine. John prefers his warm with a coke.
