Quiche


I never had heard of a quiche until the week before we were going to make it. It's basically a pie that has an omelet and either bacon, sausage or anything else you would like with an omelet, in it. So in my quiche, I put a lot of bacon in it, and some sausage. But first, we had to make the crust.

Last year in FCS, I remember making a pie crust so it wasn't as hard as it was when I first made it. I first started whisking the salt and flour together. After I did that, I had to cut in the lard so that the pieces were small. I then added water so the dough was moist and easy to roll. Since we doubled the recipe for two pie crusts, I had to separate the dough into two balls. So I had to sprinkle flour over the counter so I could roll out the dough balls. I rolled it so it was thin, and then folded each dough so that they wouldn't break when unfolding them in the pie tin. I then cut off the extra dough on the side of tin and crimped the sides to look nice and like a pie. I then put the other pie crust aside for my soft pie, and started doing my egg mixture to put in the pie crust I was using for my quiche.

The next day, I made the egg mixture to pour into the pie crust. We had to use 6 eggs, and so I cracked them, beat them so they were blended and poured them into the pie crust. I then added milk and some cheese so it kind of felt like we were making an omelet or scrambled eggs. After I put in the mixture, I added my bacon and sausage so it just wasn't plain egg. We then put it in the oven to cook at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes, but I had practice so I came in after to get it.

My quiche was very good, I thought the eggs felt fluffy, but other than that I thought it turned out well. The crust was crunchy and a golden-brown color. Overall very good recipe, and definitely planning to make it for my family in the future!
