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

Ethiopian Food Quiche/week 28/ March 1st

This was the second time that someone had suggested ethiopian food quiche! We were a lil' stumped at first, but this is an exciting challenge to say the least. We also invited our new friend Krystan to join us (who had the idea for this weeks quiche). She brought over a great assortment of vegetables and we made it work!

Crust: Our flakey crust recipe with Teff and Corn Flour(but instead of millet and brown rice flour)
Bottom Layer:Lentil Layer. Red lentils with cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, tumeric, braggs, onion, garlic, red bell pepper.
Filling: Sauteed veggies (mushrooms, broccoli, red bell pepper ...) with paprika, tumeric, ginger, and cardomom. eggs (from our new friends in boone! thanks ya'll!)
Cheese: New York Style Cheddar





It turned out so great! It was a flavor packed quiche for sure. The lentils added a good consistency that balanced out the denseness of the crust. The crust had a "whole wheat bread" taste and texture that really suited the rest of the dish. And it really held it's form when cut into pieces.

breakfast burrito quiche / week 27 - february 22, 2010

breakfast burrito. what could go wrong?
nothing says these happy campers:


crust: crushed tortilla chips (note: we've tried using corn tortillas as a crust and it didn't turn out well...)
bottom layer: refried beans glopped on the best you can
second bottom layer: your fav salsa
filling: sauteed red onions, chopped red pepper, three eggs, 1/4 cup almond milk and 1/4 cup half and half (per Kensey's suggestion)
topping: sharp cheddar cheese
post oven wrapping: corn torilla...like this:



a great breakfast indeed!

Classy Cherry Compote Quiche / week 26 - february 15th, 2010

Get ready for a wonderful wonderful spectacular quiche. Inspired by Rae's sister's baked brie recipe with puff pastry wrapped around brie, cherries and honey.

Crust: Our favorite gluten free crust recipe (posted last week and many other weeks prior)
Bottom Layer: Goat Brie
Bottom Bottom Layer: Cherry Compote. To make this delectable delight we added frozen organic sweet cherries, organic raw cane sugar and a dash of water to a saucepan. When starting to boil, crush the cherries with a fork. Then add a approximately 1 Tablespoon of Arrowroot starch to the mixture.
Filling: 3 eggs, 1/2 cup almond milk,1/2 of a large yellow onion - caramelized. Mix it up!
Bonus Layer: Chopped Raw Walnut
Top Layer: More Goat Brie!
post-oven: drizzle honey on top!



Note: In total we used a goat brie wheel that was 6.5 oz. A little smaller then the average. It was triple cream. I'm pretty sure that after this quiche we recommend the goat brie. So Yummy.

Also: We listened to Rae's Dance Troupe Mix. Nothing says classy like Beyonce. The dance move at 1:19 is Rae's favorite.
