Quiche Even a Real Man Will Eat

Mr. F is a former Marine and he loved this quiche so I promise you can make this for any man and he will eat it too. The secret is pork - lots of pork. Ham, bacon combined with the cheese and eggs make a yummy breakfast, brunch or lunch treat.

Filling:

5 oz of 2% Milk Velveeta (come on...we all have a little redneck in us and secretly love the stuff!)
5 oz of diced ham
5 strips of bacon, cooked crispy and finely chopped
3 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
1 Tbs flour


Quiche:
3 eggs
1 1/2 Cups of milk
Salt
Pepper
Granulated garlic

Ease a refrigerated unbaked pie crust into a 9" pie pan (if you are a baker, knock yourself out and make the crust from scratch.) Trim excess and flute the edges. Line the unpricked pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes, remove foil and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes.

While baking off the crust, mix together eggs, milk, salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Stir in filling, minus the grated cheddar cheese. Add the flour to the shredded cheese in a separate bowl and stir to coat. Add cheddar to egg/filling mixture and stir to combine.

Pour egg mixture into the hot pie crust while still on the oven rack. Cover the edge of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes. When it is finished a knife inserted near the center will come out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.

You can also vary the fillings - one recipe I looked at suggested a Greek filling with feta, olives and spinach or a Thai filling with ginger, cilantro and red pepper. My Mom is notorious for making quiche with leftovers like broccoli and spinach. Let your creativity help you make your own special creation. Oh, and by the way- this is really easy.
