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
