egg pie

I have been hungry for quiche for a month or so. 

 I haven't made quiche in years because the last time I made it, it was down right nasty. 

I made the last one with tuna...blech.  That was my first mistake!

This time I was pleasantly surprised. 

The picture above is:

6 eggs

1 cup of milk

6 ounces of shredded cheese, i had Colby/monterray jack on hand

8 slices of bacon, i cooked them in the broiler...no frying = easy.

salt and pepper

2 chives, cleaned and chopped

3 heaping spoon fulls of sour cream

I had all the yummy stuff in a bowl ready to go and I needed a crust.

I tweeted about it, and one of my twitter/blog friends came to my rescue!

Oh how I love twitter and all the friends I have made through tweeting.

Thanks a million Ams!

The crust you see above is:

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup of cold water

I just mixed those four things into a bowl and then pressed into a pie plate.

Yes, it was that easy, and then I topped it with the egg mixture!

I baked it for 45 minutes in a 375 degree oven.

Look at that wonderful color.  I love lightly browned cheese.

And bacon makes everything better.

And the inside is so eggy and cheesy and bacony.  All mixed together it just sings in your mouth.

Anyway...

I gave the kids a slice for dinner that night, fresh from the oven. 

Layla said, "This is the best egg pie I think I have ever had."  Oh how I love that girl. 

She does wonders for my ego when it comes to cooking. I am so happy that my kids will eat almost anything. 

So, I am calling this quiche egg pie.
