Here's my first recipe.

QUICHE

Frozen pie shell, 9 inch deep dish
1 tbsp soft butter
8 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups half and half
2 cups grated Swiss or Cheddar or mixed (approx 6-8 oz)
1 tbsp flour, tossed into grated cheese
1 can (4 oz) mushroom pieces, drained
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp finely chopped green onions
1/8 tsp white pepper
Dash nutmeg

Thaw deep dish frozen crust for about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line the un-pricked pastry shell with a double layer of aluminum foil (or a spare aluminum pie pan) filled with 2 cups of dried beans and bake on a cookie sheet for 7 minutes. Mix beaten eggs, half and half, cheese, mushrooms and seasonings and set aside. Remove pie shell from oven and wipe with soft butter and spread crumbled bacon over bottom of pie crust. Pour the cheese and egg mixture over the bacon spreading out the cheese evenly. Reduce thermostat to 350 F and continue baking on a cookie sheet for 30 to 35 minutes or until table knife tests clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. (Rev. 10/20/91)

Eggs take longer to cook. I had to add 15 minutes to the cooking time. I also had to put the cookie sheet on the second to lowest level in the oven.


We'll see how it tastes tomorrow morning.
