Bacon Quiche

Sliced and served with a salad

Quiches are easy, fast and economical to make.  There's endless possibilities for being creative once learning the basics.  Quiches are basically eggs, cheese and milk combined with a cup or two of added cooked veggies or meat.  

Some are crustless, while others call for a pastry shell. Baked at 375 - 400 for 35-45 minutes until set.  (170 degrees in middle, if testing with a thermometer)

As a rule of thumb use: 1/2 cup of dairy (milk or cream), 1/4 cup of grated cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of salt for each egg.  To make a crustless quiche, grease or spray a pie plate, and combine a 1/2 to one cup of Bisquick into dairy mixture which helps it set up firm for slicing.
