Recently I had a patient bring us a delicious quiche, and between picking her brain and crusing the internet, I came up with this recipie:
Ingredients:
2 frozen unbaked DEEP DISH pie crusts
8 eggs
1 small container half-and-half (
meat of choice (I used a little less than 1/2 a package of bacon)
veggies of choice (onion, broccoli, spinich, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc. a good time to clean out the fridge)
Cheese (monterey jack or cheddar work well)
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil to sautee veggies
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degreesF
2. Cut meat into small/bite sized pieces, cook, and set aside to drain
3. Steam veggies as needed (broccoli for example)
4. Sautee and season all veggies in olive oil until soft, start with onion and add others in. Try to decrease the amount of moisture in the veggies.
5. Combine meat with veggies and leave in pan
6. Whisk eggs and half-and-half together
7. Put veggie/meat mix in to egg mix and stir to combine
8. Add cheese into egg mix and stir in. Feel free to titrate the amount to your taste (or calorie goal). I use about 6-8oz of monterey jack
9. Place pie crusts on baking sheet
10. Ladle/gently pour mixture into pie crusts
11. Bake at 375 for 40min. Let stand 5-10 min then enjoy. Cover with tin foil and eat through the week, or they freeze nicely.
Hope you enjoy!
