Quiche is an easy quick elegant meal, especially with a ready-made pie
crust (if you use frozen, be sure to get ``deep dish''.)
Estimated preparation time: 1/2 hour
Estimated cooking time: 1 hour

Basic Quiche Recipe:

	1 partially baked pie crust 9 inch
	3 eggs
	1- 1/2 cup veggies, meat or fish
	1/2 lb cheese - gruyere is best, swiss is ok
	              - cut in 1/4 inch cubes
	1 cup lite cream
	about 2 Tb grated parmesan and/or romano
	nutmeg, salt, pepper other spices to taste 

Basic Quiche Instructions:

	Preheat oven to 425
	Mix veggies with swiss cheese
	Put in bottom of pie crust
	Sprinkle with parmesan cheese
	Beat eggs with cream and seasonings
	Pour mixture into pie crust - dont overflow!
	Bake at 425 for 15 minutes 
	Reduce heat to 350 and bake about 40 more -until
	top is golden brown
	LET SIT 5 minutes at least before serving

Example Quiche Variations:

	Lorraine:
	Cook maybe 6 slices bacon till crisp.  Saute 1 onion in
	bacon fat and drain all very well.  Use this for the filling
	(1 - 1/2 cup veggies, meat or fish)

	Crab:
	Mix maybe 1/4 - 1/2 lb crab with green onions sauted in butter
	for the filling.

Suggested menu:

	Quiche, tossed green salad, french bread, white wine, voila!
Enjoy!
