quiche me, je suis française (in my head)

The much anticipated procrastination quiche I made yesterday while not grading papers:

Before...


After...

Broccoli and cheddar with homemade whole wheat crust... oh and an entire stick of butter, about a cup of crème fraîche, and 5 or 6 eggs... But bear in mind this made 8 pretty substantial servings, so per serving all the decadent stuff isn't that bad. Kee.

Guess what I'm having for lunch all week? I've almost decided quiche is the perfect lunch food. A moderate piece accompanied by an apple or a handful of carrots or some other fruit/veg type yummy keeps me satisfied all afternoon! Crazy. Protein is good. Eggs rock.

So happy my hot water butter crusts are coming out OK again - I lost my trusty recipe that Tiphaine had written out for me years ago so have been experimenting with the crusts. Finally got it right again. In fact I didn't even measure for this one.

Speaking of crusts... It's almost time for pies!
