Quiche! I've been saving this week's pies for the Ian's staff trip to a Brewers game on Monday, but I totally forgot that I brought back the quiches!
I brought Ben with me to the farmer's market on Saturday (July 23rd) and he helped me pick out some baller ingredients for a quiche. We got some fingerling potatoes, swiss chard, green onions, crimini mushrooms, Hook's Gorgonzola cheese, and a nice big tomato.
This one's with the same pie crust as usual, baked at 375F for ten minutes with pie weights and then ten more without them.
I cut the potatoes into small pieces and boiled them. Nothing fancy.
Then I sautéed the onions with a couple tablespoons of butter, adding the mushrooms once the onions started to soften. As the mushrooms started to soften, the swiss chard went in as well, chopped small, stems and leaves alike. Once all that is sautéed and beautiful, it went into the crust with the crumbled cheese. Some of the potatoes went on top, at which point I had already basically filled up the whole crust. Then I topped it all off with a few nice, big slices of tomato.
I used the same eggy mixture as with a few quiches before: 2 eggs and 2 yolks; 1 1/4 cup of half and half, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, and a bit of nutmeg. after I poured it in, it seemed to find a crack or two in the crust and some of it just leaked out. Oh well.
Baked for 30 minutes or so, and then I brought it in to work. Everybody chowed down on it, and everyone had good things to say. I think it was fantastic. Tons of stuff going on in there, and man was it good.
