Quick Quiche

Today's blog begins with a story.

Years ago I was the advisor to the middle school French Club.  We met in the library each week, and I tried to come up with a variety of activities to have fun, learn French, meet all the students' learning styles, and provide a wide variety of experiences.  One day we had an information scavenger hunt using the library resources (this was pre-Google).  The list of questions included things like:

What are the colors of the French flag?

Name three countries that speak French,

Find a recipe for quiche.

What is the tallest mountain in Switzerland?

All of a sudden, booming across the library was, "My damn, what kind of quickie do you want?"  The librarian fell off her chair!

How to make an easy, quickie quiche.

Gather the equipment:

cookie sheet

muffin tin

whisk

pitcher

peppermill

knife

cutting board

And the ingredients:

2 cups cream, 6 ounces Swiss cheese, 10 ounces spinach

 

Don't forget the four eggs!

chop the onion 

Squeeze excess moisture out of frozen spinach.

Add the spices:

black pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper

Mix everything together.

Half fill the muffin tin.

Add crumbled bacon if you have some.

Or ham - or mushrooms - or none of these.

Fill the muffin tins.

Bake at 425º for around 30-40 minutes.

It's done when the centers jiggle but are not soupy.

Serve!

The USA Pan cooking pans are all great.  I have two muffin tins and two bread pans and a mini muffin tin.  They have a non-stick coating of some kind, so you do not need to grease the tins for cupcakes, muffins, quiches.  And because they come out so easily, you do not need cupcake papers.

USA Pans are fairly expensive.  When shopping for some things I use Amazon Warehouse.  That's where they get returns.  Sometimes there are flaws, but usually the flaws do not affect the usage.  For example, the original packaging may be missing.  https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=usa+pan&i=warehouse-deals&ref=nb_sb_noss_2  You might get a deal -
