My First Quiche!

I came home (back to Dallas) to 20 eggs in the fridge that are set to expire (that sounds weird) in about a week.

So today, I made a quiche!  Below is the recipe I sort of kind of followed with certain edits/oops-ies

I used left over Christmas ham (had to think twice about this, but considering it was cured and cooked twice (soon to be third) I went for it.  and I'm told trichomoniasis trichinosis is basically not an issue anymore.

I *almost* forgot to put the ham in.  I poured half my egg/cream blended mixture into the dish before the ham, which I then sprinkled on top and covered with the other half of the egg/cream mix.

I should have known that filling the pie tin to the top with all the layers was a bad idea.  Eggs expand when they cook... duh!  Thankfully, I put a cookie sheet under the quiche and caught the spillover.



A few things I would do differently next time:  more spinach at the bottom.  more cheese at the bottom. try bacon (instead of ham) at the bottom.   Six eggs down, 14 more to go!
