Quiche

Ingredients:

1 pastry shell
1 1/2 c milk
1/4 t salt
dash ground nutmeg
1 1/2 c shredded cheese of choice
3 beaten eggs
1/4 c sauteed onion
1/8 t pepper
3/4 c ingredient of choice (either cooked meat, meat substitute, veggies or a combination of these)
1 T all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil, and bake in a 450 degree oven for 5 minutes.  Remove foil, and bake 5-7 minutes more or till pastry is nearly done.  Remove from the oven.

Reduce oven temp to 325 degrees.

In a bowl, stir together eggs, milk, sauteed onion, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

In separate bowl, toss cheese of choice with 1 T flour.  Add cheese mixture to the egg mixture.

Either add your ingredient of choice to the bowl then adding to pie shell, or arrange in atop the egg mixture once it is poured into the pastry shell... depends on your ingredient of choice!

Bake in a 325 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

If necessary, cover the edge of the crust with foil or pastry ring, to prevent over-browning.

Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Serves 6.
