Here's an all-purpose quiche recipe. I put it together from the suggestions in various cookbooks. a pie crust (9- or 10-in pan)
- 2
One or more of the following fillings:
- 3
scallions (about 1 bunch), chopped and sauteed in butter mushrooms (about 10 ounces), sliced and sauteed in butter spinach (one bunch), chopped, steamed, and drained Beat egg white slightly, and spread a thin layer of egg white over uncooked pie crust. Prebake the pie crust at 425 F (400 for a glass pan) for 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Place cheese in crust. Add one or more of the fillings (about 1 - 1 1/2 cups filling(s) total). Mix eggs, both kinds of cream, and spices. Pour gently on top of cheese and filling(s). Bake at 375 F (350 for glass pan) for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. (I use the Basic pie crust from the New York Times Cookbook.)
