Baking Experiment: Egg Pie

Or quiche, if you are fancy šŸ˜‰

My Mom wanted a broccoli cheddar quiche for Mother’s Day, which made it easy to pick out my next baking experiment.

Not as pretty as the pineapple upside down cake, but still pretty tasty! I did cheat a little and use a premade pie crust. By and large I’m determined to bake from scratch as much as possible. But sometimes if you want to get something done, you need to take a shortcut.

It got pretty good! I’ve tried quiche before and it didn’t turn out as well. I think the big trick this time was cutting the broccoli really fine, and cooking it prior to putting the mixture all together. I used this recipe, with one change. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of cheddar. I threw in a whole 2 cup bag. And I’m not going to apologize.

  4. I’ve never heard it called Egg Pie before, here its always called quiche, does that make us posh? šŸ˜‰ Pastry gives me indigestion so I save it only for desserts rather than savoury. I’m sure it was tasty though.

    1. The egg pie name is from the 80’s. There was a joke book about real men not eating quiche, then a bunch of restaurants started calling it egg pie in response. My family just sort of held on to the joke šŸ™‚

    1. I do think the premade crust helped, especially because it was in one of those thin aluminum foil pans. I usually use a thicker ceramic one, and I think sometimes that causes problems with things cooking through.
      And yes, more cheese always!
