Quiche
I whipped up The Ulitmate Quiche, from the book Living Beyond Organic by Christina Avaness, for dinner last night and served to Pam and her family. It is a simple recipe and fast to make. Here are the ingredients (duck eggs, goat’s Gouda cheese, heavy cream, red potato, leek, red onion, Pecorino Romano, thyme, oregano, RealSalt, cayenne pepper, and artichoke hearts).
I had to run up to Christina Avaness’s home to get the duck eggs, luckily she had a couple she could share as she was awaiting a shipment to come in. I also picked up some of her fabulous Papua New Guinea coffee, which I am sipping while I write this blog. You can order both to be shipped to your home from LBOrganic.com.
The quiche came out beautifully. I have never had one brown so perfectly on the top. The consistency was perfect! Now I used sheep’s cheese and my quiche turned out salty. I don’t know that it was necessarily the fact that it was sheep’s cheese because last week at the farmer’s market I got a great sheep’s cheese that wasn’t salty at all. The lesson learned here is that you want to taste the cheese before you purchase it. At Whole Foods or any cheese store (or the farmers market even) they will give you samples. Try it!!!
I will make this quiche again with different cheese and let you know how it turns out!
