Spinach, Bacon, Feta Microwave Quiche

One of the best things to come out of France is the quiche. This little pie is a great meal for breakfast, lunch, dinner, elevenses, afternoon tea, supper, midnight snack, . . . You get the picture. Depending on what you put in it, the quiche can be eaten any time, any where. Usually this dish takes over an hour to cook in the oven but we've cooked up one in less than 25 minutes. Here's how we did it:

Microwave Quiche?!?

Ingredients:
1 frozen pie crust
1/4 cup fresh spinach
a few basil leaves
1/4 chopped bacon
1/4 cup crumbled feta
4 large eggs
1/3 cup milk (or if you have richer tastes, cream)
salt, pepper, nutmeg


To start off spread the crust into a 9" glass pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Microwave for 2 minutes. Next roll the spinach and basil leaves and cut into thin strips. Sprinkle evenly in the crust along with the bacon and feta. Beat the 4 eggs with the milk and add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Remember to go easy on the salt because the cheese is pretty salty too. Pour the eggs evenly over the filling. Nuke for 2 minutes on high then 5 minutes at 50% power. Let stand in the microwave for 10 minutes. Cut into 6 segments and enjoy!

Quick Quiche!

This is yet another recipe that you can customize however you like. Just as long as you have about 3/4 cup of filling (e.g. spinach, bacon, feta) then you'll be okay. Now you could put 3/4 cup of just cheese and that would be totally fine. The crust comes out a little gummy but it's still a pretty tasty quiche.


Well that's it for now. Keep cooking and remember:


No kitchen, no problem!
