tempeh reuben quiche/ week 31 - march 22, 2010

Crust: Gluten Free Rye Bread
Bonus Layer: Grilled Tempeh and Onion
Filling: 3 eggs, 1/2 cup almond milk
Bonus top layer: polish saurkraut pickles (more info tba)
Top: Colby Cheese (grated)

Dear Quiche Lovers,
Today we learned an important lesson. When adding things like bread and tempeh-remember that these foods soak up liquid. We definitly should have used more eggs and milk in this recipe. It still turned out delicious (because it was quiche) but it it was a little dry and needed some more filling.
Hugs and Quiches,
Rae and Lizzie

"best i ever had" quiche aka mediterranean quiche / week 30 - march 22nd, 2010


Well folks, this week's quiche was delightful. We had been talking about doing a Mediteranean Quiche for quite some time now and boy are we glad we gave it a try. We had some feta left over from last week's quiche-so it was great timing. As a friend bonus, Mary, Danny and Kensey all came over for this week's Quiche Monday.

Crust: Our favorite awesome gluten free quiche crust (in recipes below)

Filling: 3 eggs (free range/organic/local/yadda yadda), 1/2 cup almond milk, chopped and pitted kalamata olives, roasted and marinated tomatoes (also featured in our true blood quiche), diced green bell pepper and spinach - both sauteed with some onion and garlic.

Top: Feta Cheese (organic)



we showed this picture to depict how tiny and cute!!

Quote of the Quiche: "This might be the best quiche i've ever had." -Kensey

and because of that quote....this weeks theme was born. we listened to the version by drake while we were eating this one....but here is Rae's version (it's an old cover of this hip hop song with a bunch of cursing in it):



hugs and quiches and piece,
lizzie and rae.

Excited for Spring Quiche/Week 29/March 8th 2010


Our inspiration for this quiche was the warmer weather hopefully coming our way. Lizzie had a great idea of a quiche inspired by spring rolls. Today, we had limited time to prepare, and a gusto for eating quiche right away (when do we not though, really.) We also opted for less "heavy" foods and didn't pre-cook the veggies.

Crust: Rice! Pressed firmly into the bottom of the quiche dish.
Filling: 3 eggs, 1/2 cup almond milk, pre-cut stir-fry vegetables (i told you we were in a hurry. This consisted of mushrooms, water chestnuts, bean sprouts and rae's all time favoite vegetable-baby corn.), freshly cut ginger, 2 cloves of fresh garlic cloves.
Top Layer: Farm Fresh Feta

This is certainly one of our weirder quiches. It kinda tasted like an awesome fried rice. But, I think the quote of the quiche sums it all up.

Quote of the Quiche:
"I think what we learned from this quiche is, that really, with quiche you can do no wrong."-Rae
