Greg's Favorite Quiche



This Swiss Cheese & Onion Quiche is one of Greg's breakfast favorites at the log cabin. Sometimes I will add 1/2 cup of cooked turkey bacon to it (trying to keep it somewhat healthy.) You can also add ham too. I found this recipe at allrecipes.com.

INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 teaspoon salt


DIRECTIONS
Spread 1 tablespoon butter over bottom of pastry shell; set aside. In a skillet, saute onion in remaining butter until tender. Spread in pastry shell. Toss Swiss cheese with flour; sprinkle over onion. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and salt. Pour evenly over cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F; bake 30-35 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

That sounds great! I just had brunch at a friends house and she served "crustless" quiche. It tasted great and you really didn't miss the crust...That saved alot of calories!

Sounds like something Jimmy might like, but not me. I don't like eggs.

This sounds really good Shelly! I love quiche but DH doesn't. I may just have to make one for me!!! :)

I was searching through my emails and can't find the one you sent me with the camera recommendation. Can you resend it to me??? cmdarlin@hotmail.com

Thank you and hope you are enjoying your weekend. My feet/ankles are doing better. I started taking glucosamine last week. That and my compression stockings must be helping.
