Pittsburgh Pierogi Pizza Quiche/ week 40 - may 24, 2010

There is this place in Pittsburgh (Adrian's Pizza) that has amazing Pierogi Pizza. In honor of Lizzie's big move to Pittsburgh in a few weeks we made this quiche.

Crust: Gluten Free Pizza Crust
Bonus Layer: Mashed Potatoes, Sauteed Onions, Sundried Tomatoes (re-hydrated)
Filling: three eggs (local, organic- as always), 1/2 cup almond milk, some salt

Pittsburgh Pierogi Pizza Quiche
Cheese: White Cheddar, Provolone grated

Bake in Oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. *note: bake crust for a few minutes before adding ingredients on top.


This quiche was so good! The only critique we had is that the crust is kinda hard to cut. This may depend on the kind you get.

shannon the great's philly tomato pie quiche/ week 39 - may 17, 2010

our friend shannon came to visit us this week! we were so excited we decided to make a philadelphia food inspired quiche. none of us have actually had tomato pie. but boy oh boy were we excited to try it out.

In spirit of the theme we chose pretzels, tomato pie, and cheddar cheese (instead of cheese sauce) because of their Philly roots.

Crust: Glutino Gluten Free sesame pretzel rings
Bottom Layer: Sliced Tomato (organic and local slicer tomatoes!)
Middle Layer: 3 Eggs (organic and local!), 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 T dried basil,
1 T dried oregano
Bottom Layer: Another Sliced Tomato Layer
Cheese: Cheddar and a little Pecorino Romano

soooo good!

Eggplant Parmesan Quiche/ week 36 - April 26th, 2010

We made Eggplant Parmesan! And then We made Eggplant Parmesan Quiche!

When thinking of crusts Rae consulted our good friend, Jackie. Here is our conversation:

Rae: "Hey Jackie! I have an important quiche question to ask you. What kind of crust should I make tonight?"

Jackie: "What's wrong with the "always crust"?

Rae: "You mean the pastry crust! Ha! Well, we make that one a lot. We like to be creative. What about using left over breadcrumbs?"

Jackie: "I like the "always crust". It's sooooo good. "

Rae: "Ok, you got it kiddo. You do know I am going to blog about this conversation later."



Crust: The pastry crust (called "the always crust" by Jackie. See previous entries for recipe. ). This time I added in basil and oregano to the flour.
Bottom Layer: Breaded and fried eggplant
Extra bonus layer: Tomato Sauce (crushed tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt)
Filling: three local, organic eggs, 1/2 cup almond milk, and rosemary
Cheese: Mozzarella
Bonus Top Layer: Gluten Free Breadcrumbs (in the shape of a heart.)




This quiche was a big hit! Our wonderful friends Danny, Jackie, and Mary (not pictured :() joined us!

Also, we randomly started singing "All for you" by Janet Jackson. So, naturally, Rae recorded their version of it. Ya know, for kicks and because they love their friends.
