Real Men Eat Quiche!

"Real men eat quiche."  That's what my Dad always says. 

I decided to make some quiche for the real men in my house for dinner tonight.  I took the mashed potato crust idea from the taco pie I made the other night and adjusted it to fit this recipe. The result was a delicious quiche that my husband said tasted like a baked potato covered in broccoli and cheese!

 Quiche with Potato Flake Crust

-Serves 6-8

Crust:

2 Tb. Butter or oil

2/3 cup Milk

2 1/4 cups Mashed Potato Flakes

Basic Quiche:
4 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Milk
1 cup Shredded Cheese

Seasonings of choice: onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley flakes, etc.

 -Melt butter in saucepan.  Remove from heat and stir in milk.  Measure potato flakes in bowl and pour milk over the top.  Stir mixture to combine until it resembles oatmeal.

-Sprinkle mixture with garlic and onion powders. (optional)

-Press mixture into a greased 9" pie pan so it resembles a crust.

 -Whisk eggs and milk together.  Add salt, pepper and seasonings of choice.  Stir in cheese.

-Pour egg and cheese mixture into crust.  You can bake it like this for a basic cheese quiche or you can add meat or vegetables of your choosing.  I added crumbled bacon and broccoli to this quiche.







-Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes until center of quiche is set and doesn't jiggle when moved.

 

-Remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before cutting.

Enjoy!
