Quiche Please!


Who knew quiche was a really simple and quick dish to make? Thanks to Laura, I loosely used a Julia Child recipe to make this amazing dinner.

5 to 6 large white mushrooms, sliced

3 Pieces of ham cut into cubes

5 to 6 pieces of broccoli

1/2 cup water
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whipping cream ( I used skim milk)
An 8-inch partially-cooked pastry shell (I used Trader Joe's gourmet pie crust)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 clove of garlic crushed

1 pinch of pepper for seasoning

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Sautee mushrooms, broccoli, garlic, and ham together in a large frying pan.

3. Beat the eggs, milk and seasoning in a large mixing bowl to blend. Gradually stir in the broccoli, ham, and mushroom mixture. Check seasoning. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake in upper third of pre-heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until puffed and browned.

Et voilĂ ! A simple French dish ready to enjoy!
