Quiche: The Breakfast Pie

This is a great breakfast meal for the whole family. I actually got my 5 year old and my 3 year old to eat it by calling it "Breakfast Pie".

It is a very easy meal to make.

Preheat your oven to 325.

Ingredients:

1 Frozen pie crust

4 Eggs

1 1/2 Cups of milk

1/4 tsp Salt

Dash of Nutmeg

6 oz. Cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda)

1 Tbs Flour

In a bowl, beat the four eggs well. Add the milk and the salt, mixing well. Next, add the dash of nutmeg to the egg mixture.

Grate desired cheese. Add one tablespoon of flour to the cheese and coat well. Ad this mixture to the eggs.

Bake the quiche at 325 for 40-45 minutes. Because of the cheese content, the quiche may actually look undercooked. Simply poke the center of the quiche with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out dry and clean, then the quiche is finished. (It is important to watch the cooking temperature of eggs. When cooked at too high of a temperature, eggs have a tendency to turn green. I would not recommend trying to take any shortcuts with this dish.)

For those of you who enjoy spinach, try adding 2 cups of frozen chopped spinach. It is important that the spinach is thawed and drained before adding it to the quiche. You can also try to add 3/4 cup of bacon, ham or sausage for a heartier breakfast quiche. And if you desire to try quiche at a later meal, try adding the same amount of chicken, turkey or crab meat.
