Cheese Quiche

Quiche

What a simple word for a great dish. When the weather starts to warm up I always am in the mood for quiche. You start with a basic recipe and then start adding the different foods to make it you own. As I always say recipes are guidelines!!

If you are a full time working mom or dad and want something simple for supper, you need to try this recipe. It may take 10 minutes to put together, and only 40 – 50 minutes to bake. Add a salad and you have a great light supper!!! How simple is that? I have found that just by not eating out, we as a family have trimmed down!!! A lot of you would spend probably $7.95 – $10.95 for a lunch or dinner like this, but you can make it yourself for $2.95 – $4.95!!!

I have found that if I use ham or spinach I have to ring it out to get all extra liquid out of the ham and spinach. If you don’t it will take you a long time to bake and may burn.
