Easy Quiche

We had this for dinner the other night. Everyone was getting home at different times, so it was nice to have something that could be eaten "whenever". This crust is not a traditional flakey one, but it tastes pretty good and is really easy to make.

Crust
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. milk

  1. Combine flour, sugar and salt in bottom of pie plate.
  2. Add milk to oil and whisk until blended.
  3. Pour oil/milk mixture over flour and combine. Once blended, press into pie shell to form crust.
Filling
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, swiss, monterey jack, etc,.)
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 cloves of garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1 tsp. butter
Optional additions -- make sure they're all well drained: cooked spinach (chopped), sauteed mushrooms, diced and cooked zucchini or yellow squash. diced ham or crisp bacon.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Saute onions until soft and starting to brown. Add garlic and continue cooking for 30-45 seconds. Set aside.
  3. Whisk eggs, milk and salt and pepper.
  4. Spread onion and garlic around bottom of crust. Add optional additions. Top with grated cheese.
  5. Pour egg mixture into crust. Dot top with small pieces of butter (this helps keeps the top tender).
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes until set and starting to brown on top.

  1. I just read your article in Family Fun. THANK YOU! We will be trying this tonight. I have a super picky nine year old (and husband). But they love games, so I think my problem is solved. You are very clever! I will be checking your blog all the time now!
