Quiche Lorraine

I LOVE quiches. I think they're the best things on earth. Hot or cold, a nice piece of quiche is always a welcomed site. We've tried many recipes and have come up with our own. Try it out as is or add other items... skies the limit.

Here's the recipe:

Pastry for a 9-inch Crust Pie
6-8 slices of Turkey Bacon
1 1/2 C. shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 heaping C of onions (finely chopped)
4 Eggs
2 C Half-and Half
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1/4 tsp. Garlic powder

Pre-heat 425. Start bymaking the pie crust. Bake your crust for 10 minutes with foil wrapped around the edges. Take the foil off and bake for another 3 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven to 325.

Cook the bacon in a frying pan. Fry until crispy. Crumble and set aside. You can use regular bacon for this recipe as well. We like turkey bacon because of the smoky flavor and it's a little healthier than pork.


Shred cheese and set aside 1 1/2 cups. Finely chop 1/2 of an onion. This will most likely be a 1/3 cup.
Add the crumbled bacon, onion and cheese to the crust.

In a large bowl, beat eggs with a wisk. Add half-and-half, salt, garlic powder and pepper.

Bake the quiche at 325 for 45-50 minutes. Use the cake method by dipping a knife at the center of the quiche. It the knife comes out clean take it out of the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.


As I said at the beginning, you can always add vegetables if you'd like. For example, add broccoli or spinach. This quiche is so yum- delish. If you don't finish it, you can store in the fridge. Enjoy!

Green Beans sauteed in White Wine & Garlic

The first time I had this dish was the first time I met K's family over four years ago. It immediately turned into my favorite side dish! it's very, very simple but has a rich and beautiful taste.

Here's the recipe:
3/4-1lb fresh green beans
2-4 TBS butter
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4c White cooking wine
salt and pepper to taste

Start by washing the green beans and snapping off the ends

Melt the butter in a sauce pan on med heat. You can use more or less butter depending on your preference and the amount of green beans you are using. Add the garlic and saute for a minute or so stirring constantly. Garlic can burn quickly so keep an eye on it.

Add the green beans and saute them for 2-3min stirring constantly. Then add the white cooking wine and cook for several minutes until the wine has completely burned off, the garlic may start to brown a little so again be careful not to let it burn.

Transfer the green beans to a dish and enjoy a rich and delicious side dish that is ready in minutes, but will impress any guest.

Enjoy!!
