Directions
Garden Vegetable Quiche With a Cream Cheese Crust,This quiche is so full of goodness it can be dinner! Equally good at a brunch. This recipe is fabulous to use up those bits of veggies that I always seem to be accumulating…..anyone else have that problem? The cream cheese crust is a bonus! From Spice and Spirit cookbook. Chill time for pastry isn’t included in the prep time, since you can do this while making the rest of the recipe.,This was a scrumptious dinner for us. I’ve never made a crust before, but this turned out well and it was tasty to boot. I was wondering if you could taste the cream cheese in the crust, so I took a bite of crust by itself. You can taste the cream cheese and it made me want more. I could see using this as a side dish or as an appetizer. Thanks for sharing. Made for Best of 2013 Cookbook Tag.,Wonderful quiche, DH flip-flopped from his initial apprehension and got seconds and thirds! The crust was very easy and delicious for a pastry-challenged chef like me. I could not find my 10″ pie plate/flan plate, so used a 9″ pie plate, using all the crust, all the cheese, all the veggies. My milk had spoiled so used half and half, and mixed it with the 3 eggs. While pouring over the other ingredients, I stopped when the level neared the top; I had over 1/2 cup of liquid to discard. The end result was a “solid” rather than “creamy” quiche, which turned DH into this recipe’s biggest cheerleader. The flavors were incredible! Next time I might try it with Smoked Applewood Swiss cheese because we love that flavor. This goes into my “Best of 2013” and “A1 Rotation” cookbooks! Made for Please Review My Recipe.
