QUICKIE QUICHE: SUBSTITUTION STAPLES image

Yield 6 small, 3 large (you don't know my family)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 eggs
1 pre-made pie shell
2 large onions (or 3 small)
1/2 cup sliced button mushrooms
1/2 cup brocoli
3 cloves garlic
1 cup cottage cheese (or sour cream)
four slices jarlsberg to cover top of tart/quiche
grated Parmesean to taste
1/2 fresh basil (or 1 tablespoon pesto)
Dry sherry
Salt & pepper to taste
*if you're up for experimentation, try pink sea salt! It's mild & minerally taste adds a flavorful texture ... and for the salt concious, a little goes a long way ...

Steps:

Dice onion & garlic and caramalize with sherry. Add mushrooms & salt/pepper to taste then reduce heat to low. Beat together five eggs and a cup of cottage cheese. Too this, add 1/2 cup fresh basil (if available ... a tablespoon of pesto can be substitued for dry or fresh) and a 1/2 cup brocoli. Combine egg mixture with onions & shrooms, mix, then pour into a pre-made pie shell. Add some sliced of jarlsberg to the top with a good dusting of a parmesean blend to the top & bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
