Baking Blitz: Cooking Option: Quiche

The other week I was in the kitchen and I was in a “cooking” mode. I cooked I think three different dishes/meals and my husband was in there wanting to help. Our kitchen is small so I asked him to sit at the table and I would bring him what he needed to help (I know it sounds silly but I’m serious when I stay our kitchen is small and it’s a smart move for our marriage for us not to both be in there cooking at the same time!)

I give him full credit for the end result but I showed him how to make quiche. He’s not to versed in cooking (yet) so it’s always fun when I can teach him something. I gave him what he needed step but step and wow he did an amazing job (and he bragged about it to everyone he would find I think!)

Preheat the oven for 350.

Crust:
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Butter
3 tbsp cold Water or Milk

Instructions:
Place the flour and salt a bowl and cut in the butter.

Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time. As soon as the dough adheres to itself when pinched, stop adding water and turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gather it gently into a ball.

Roll the dough out and cut to the size of your pie pan and press in place.

Filling:
6 Eggs
1 Smookie (cut up small)
1 cup Cheese (of your choice)
1/3 cup Milk or cream
2 tbsp Butter
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Basil (to taste)
(other spices of your choice)

Instructions:
Beat eggs, milk and butter together. Add salt, pepper, basil and any other spices you want. Mix in cheese and smookie. Pour into pie crust. Bake for 30-45 minutes.

Enjoy!
