Quiche

Quiche is probably one of the easiest things ever.  Unlike a souffle that is known for being temperamental.  It is basically a baked custard in a crust with fillings.

I can not give an actual recipe as I eyeballed everything.

CRUST

A standard pie crust, layers of filo, puff pastry or even a thinly rolled biscuit dough will work.  Line a pie pan with it.  I mixed bacon drippings with flour until it resembled fine crumbs then added enough milk to form a dough.

Roll thin and put in a pie tin

FILLING

Mix 4 eggs, 1/2 c milk, 1/2 t salt 1/2 t pepper 1/8 t nutmeg and set aside.

Cut 1/2 lb asparagus into 2" lengths and spread evenly in crust.

Cut 1/2 lb baked chicken into small cubes and spread evenly on top of asparagus.

Grate 1/4 lb Manchego and spread evenly over chicken.

Pour egg mixture over all other ingredients.

Bake at 500 for 15 minutes then lower to 350 until the top is lightly golden brown.

Cool then serve.

That is how I made it.  The reality is that you can use any combination of 1/2 lb vegetables, 1/2 lb meat, 1/4 lb cheese.  Have fun with it.  It is great to make quiche with left overs.
