Amandas Vegetable Quiche Recipe

	Kcangel63 / All my dishes 8 months, 1 week ago One day, I wanted to make a quiche, but I didn't have a recipe. I threw a bunch of vegetables together and it turned out really good. I, then, wrote down the recipe so we could make it again later. Prep:20m Cook:45m Servings:12	Kcangel63

13 eggs (room temp)

1 cup milk (room temp)

2 tsp salt

pepper to taste

1 Tb Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

5 oz (1/2 pkg) bacon (cooked and diced)

1 small/medium bunch of broccoli (steamed 5 minutes - still slightly firm) coarsely chopped

1 onion (chopped and caramelized)

1 -2 cups of spinach (slightly wilted in skillet)

1/4 cup of Italian parsley

3 cups shredded cheese (any kind desired)

Crust -

1 3/4 cup flour

6 Tb cold butter cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 350 deg.

Roll out chilled crust to fit 9 x 13 dish (bottom and sides of dish buttered). Chill crust in freezer 10 minutes (remove from oven a few minutes before putting in oven so glass will warm up and not break in oven). Pre-bake crust 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

Caramelize onions; cook bacon and dice; steam broccoli 5 minutes and coarsely chop (broccoli should be still slightly firm); chop Italian parsley; slightly wilt spinach; shred cheese - can be done in advance.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl mix eggs, milk, salt, pepper and Worcestershire Sauce.

Put 1/3 of cheese on top of crust. Add vegetable/meat mixture. Top with 1/3 of cheese. Pour egg mixture over vegetables, meat and cheese. Top with last 1/3 of cheese.

Cook for 35 - 45 minutes or until firm. (Do not overcook or it will be dry)
