1 unbaked pie shell (we doubled the recipe and made two. Ate one and froze one for the hubs)
Shredded cheese (about 8 oz, I use Fiesta Blend for everything)
2 oz thinly sliced pepperoni (about 20-30) cut into quarters
1 can evaporated milk (for denser quiche) OR about a cup of regular milk for fluffier quiche
3 large eggs
2 tbls. flour
1 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Oven at 350
Bake pie shell as directed (we used frozen pre-made;Suzie Homemaker that I am)
sprinkle a cup of cheese on bottom of shell and half the pepperoni. (we only put it on top because we only had about 15 slices)
whisk eggs, milk, flour, basil and garlic powder in bowl. Pour mixture into pie shell(s)
sprinkle with cheese and top with pepperoni (and anything else you'd like!)
Place quiche on baking pan if pie pan is made of foil (we didn't) but I can see the benefit of this in the future. They're pretty flimsy.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes.
Notes:
We used canned milk this time because Sloan is a CRAZY girl about such things as following recipes, UGH she is SUCH a rule follower. I can't get her to break any rules. Should I count my blessings? Lol but next time we shall use milk because it makes for a very fluffy quiche.
Go ahead and top with chopped onions, red and green pepper, or whatever.
DEFINITELY use deep dish pie shells if you use frozen. Our doubled recipe filled both deep dishes to the top.
When it comes out, it will be kind of raised in a dome shape but after cooling, settles down to what a respectable quiche should look like.
Go for it! It's your party you can quiche if you want to. ;)

Sounds so good! We love quiche around here. You know how Ollie is about partially hydrogenated oil? Well, every store bought pie crust has it in it. AND--I still haven't mastered making homemade pie crusts mostly because I have no interest in even really trying. So, the last few quiches I've made I've just skipped the crust and it's been totally fine. Another idea I've heard about but haven't tried is using hash browns as your crust. That sounds yum!
This wouldn't work in a graham cracker pie crust, would it? eww..
It sounds delicious and Rod would probably like it as he likes scrambled egg casserole type things, Ann and I would like it. Sam has never liked eggs of any kind and would even run away gaggin when he was little... I never understood but couldn't deny he REALLY doesn't like eggs. Jake, I just don't know!
This looks so good and simple. Thanks for posting it. I'm trying it this week.
