brunch

The six-egg quiche for a 9-inch pan is a good rule of thumb. Different recipes I had gathered called for anywhere from 4–10 eggs. The first recipe I was making called for six eggs and that seemed to fill up the pan nicely so that’s what I went with for the remaining recipes.

I had invited five people over for our New Economy Brunch, four of whom showed up. Having never made quiches before I was a little uncertain about how many to prepare. I figured on four but then had enough extras on hand to produce six. I was also serving mini-bagels, fried potatoes and fresh fruit so I really had no idea how much quiche each person would be eating.

I figured three pans would fit easily into my oven at a time so I prepared those first and then held off on cooking the 2nd round of three, but everything was chopped and ready mix, all I had to I was crack some eggs and start whiskin’.

Quiche 1: egg, tomato, onion, fresh parsley, cheddar and mozzarella cheese;
Quiche 2: egg, pork sausage, tomato, green chile, cheddar cheese;
Quiche 3: egg, cheddar, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

With the potatoes I had prepared, bacon and fruit, it turned out that those three quiches were more than enough for everyone (leftovers), so I didn’t get to try out the mushroom/spinach combo or my bacon recipe. I have enough extra ingredients to try them out this week, although I think I am going to be all cholesteroled out.

  1. Wait- you mean there was egg in that 50-cheese quiche?! Hmm. That split was good.
    So, I had to tell you that since I’ve moved and can’t find any food anywhere (think it might still be packed), I had to buy my lunch today. I was feeling the need for some fresh vegetables and some protein, and Vie De France across the street just happened to be offering a seafood quiche! Yum, right?! So I got that and a salad…

    It. Was. Awful.

    Seriously. Awful. I ate a few bites and threw it out.

    This weekend we discussed how easy quiche is to make, and yours totally rocked ass, so how is it that “professionals” turn out a quiche that tastes like it’s made of 70% salt and 110% pepper? (math was never my strong suit) What’s up wit dat?!

    So, my pernt is that you put your foot all up in dat quiche. MMMMMMMMM HMMMMMMMMMM.

  2. [...] the leftover ingredients from last weekend’s N.E.B. I have three quiches to make today. And some more potatoes. And some more bacon. I’m eating [...]
