How To Make basic quiche and plus

  • This my girlfriend from work in 1979. Over the years, I have changed the recipe to our tastes. I hope you will find your perfect Quiche.
    1
    Basic Quiche: The FIRST SEVEN INGREDIENTS makes the Quiche. After that are Optional Ingredients and/or what YOU like. EXCEPTIONS are the white pepper and salt.
  • Pictured items I use.
    2
    Pan to use: I use my Deep Pie Dish. Be sure to Lightly spray with vegetable cooking SPRAY. It prevents sticking.
  • Layering is important. Mushrooms like to float up. I place my veggies and meats in a bowl and GENTLY mix by hand.
    3
    Layering is very important for it to come out beautiful when you do OPTIONAL or YOUR INGREDIENTS.
  • 4
    Bake at 375° for 35 to 50 minutes.
  • 5
    Cheese shred into measuring cup(s). Do NOT pack. If you do Pack it, you will have a delicious hot dip!
  • 6
    Place your Cooked meats and veggies (except mushrooms) in a bowl. Gently mix by hand.
  • 7
    Place Shredded cheese(s) in the bottom. Top with mushrooms. Mushrooms have the tendency to float to the top.
  • 8
    Add gently the mixture of cooked meats and veggies.
  • 9
    The liquid mixture of Bisquick, Milk and Eggs need to be mixed well. I use an electric hand mixer. Please give it another mix just before pouring. Notice I placed the Cayenne Pepper in this mixture so I see the amount. "To Taste"
  • Be sure to mix the liquid again before pouring.
    10
    Pour the liquid mixture over evenly.
  • 11
    Place in preheated oven 375°.
  • 12
    35 to 50 minutes. Depending on Altitude, oven accuracy and Just how much of your own choices to put in it.
  • 13
    Doneness is easy to tell. Coloring should be an even light brown. Best way, touch for firmness in the middle. A light touch and it should feel like a baked cake.
  • Please note: while the Quiche is settling, it is flattens a bit. That is absolutely perfect!
    14
    Take it out of the oven to sit & firm up for 15 to 20 minutes. No worries, it will be plenty hot when you serve.
  • 15
    Presentation is always a nice touch. I used fresh Cilantro leaves only. Fresh tomatoes diced evenly. Chopped sweet onions. A little cooked bacon. A Tiny bit of cheese.
  • 16
    Slice and serve. Enjoy! BTW, if you happen to have leftovers, cover & refrigerate. I make it and always freeze each piece individually with plastic food wrap place in a large baggy to eat another time. Works great when camping and if you are serving one person. Heat by placing on a safe microwave dish 30 seconds at a time.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
