quiche

Yummy quiche of spinach, goat cheese, and delicious thick-cut bacon (and eggs) from Cedar Valley Sustainable Farm. I don't really have a recipe, but this is basically how I made it:

Crust:

1 c. flour

4 tbsp. cold butter, cut up

pinch salt

ice water

In a food processor (or with your hands) mix butter, flour, and salt. Add a little ice water until the mixture comes together into a dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate about 1/2 hr. On a floured surface, roll out dough with a rolling pin and gently place in pie/quiche dish, being careful not to stretch it. Cover with tin foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 425 F for about 5 mins, then remove weights and bake about 5 more. Then turn down oven to 350, fill pie shell and bake another 1/2 hour or more, until eggs are puffed up and the top is slightly browned.

Filling:

3 or 4 eggs, depending on how deep your dish is

About 1 cup of cream, milk, or half and half

salt, pepper

About 3 oz. cheese (I used goat-Gruyere is great too)

A large handful of veggies (I used spinach, defrosted and with the water squeezed out)

4 or 5 large slices of thick-cut bacon, cut up and sauteed

Spread meat and veggies over the bottom of the crust, then top with shredded or crumbled cheese. Slightly beat eggs with cream and salt and pepper, then pour evenly over fillings. Then bake as above. Allow to cool before serving.
