Today I made Quiche with the babies



Quiche are so easy to make you can pretty much add anything to them once you have a good base.


We made roasted vegetable and her quiche today, we started with
pre made tart shells in a pack of 12, it's okay to cheat not everyone has time to make it from scratch.

In a pan heat a little oil, add diced mushroom, pepper, onion and salt and pepper.
Chop some fresh parley and basil about 1/4 cup full.

Saute for about five minutes.
In a bowl crack 6 eggs with 1/2 cup of milk.
Whisk until blended, add some grated cheese about 1 cup, marble is best!
Fill quiche with egg milk mixture and cheese top with sauteed vegetables and chopped herbs.

Bake on a cookie sheet for about 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serve with a nice tossed salad. Quiche are great for any meal especially breakfast a great way to start the day!!  The babies at work loved them they made them with a little help but for the most part they just wanted to eat the cheese while we were making them.
