Quick and Easy Quiche Recipe

When I was first married, we didn't have a ton of money, so one year for Christmas I made a little cookbook for all of our family.  It had my favorite recipes that I liked to make, complete with "reviews" from my husband.  One of the recipes was an Easy Quiche Recipe that I still make today.

I love that it is a simple recipe that could be easily modified (with meat or veggies your family likes) and that is inexpensive and pretty simple to make.

Ingredients:

Crust:
  1/2 Cup butter or margarine
  3/4 t. salt (use 1 t. if using unsalted butter)
  1 Cup flour
  3-4 T. Cold water

Filling:
   1 cup broccoli (or which ever vegetable you prefer) finely chopped
   8 eggs
   1 t. thyme
   1 t. rosemary
   1 t. basil
   1 t. black pepper
   1 t. Dijon mustard
   1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
   2 cups cooked chopped meat (ham, bacon, sausage, turkey)**

**I often use lunch meat sliced up

Ham and bacon quiche

Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 350.
2) Mix the butter in mixer, then slowly add in flower and salt.  Add in water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, while mixing, until the right doughy consistency.
3) Press the dough into a pie pan, poke the bottom with a fork.  Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
4) While the crust is cooking, mix the filling ingredients in a large bowl.  Pour these ingredients into the bake pie crust.
5) Bake for 30-40 minutes at 350.  To ensure the quiche is done, poke a toothpick into the center to see if it comes out clean and the center is no longer liquid.
