Quiche for the stupid

Why yes, another fattening french dish! Quiche combines my two passions: pie and home fries. So here ya go. And yes, there are shortcuts in this recipe because honestly I do not feel like getting into making pie dough, alright?!

For the homefries, its simple. Take a couple of potatoes (any kind you like, I prefer yukon gold, but whatever you like is fine). Bake them off. About six minutes in the microwave per potato will do. Or if you like to wait for food, bake in the oven for about 24 minutes. Whatever. Don't care. Just bake your damn potato.

I like my homefries with peppers, onions, garlic, and mushrooms(1/2 and onion, a whole pepper, and about 6-8 mushrooms,  1 tsp garlic should do it!). Dice all of these things and mix together with your diced potato(Remember the stuff called salt and pepper, use it liberally). Heat up a skillet with enough oil to coat the bottom. Toss in the potato mixture and fry to your liking. I like mine kinda on the dark and crispy side.

Now when that is done, let it rest and cool and all that shit.

Get a pre-made pie shell and throw it (gently) into your pie pan. Bake it at 375F for about 10 minutes. You could do this while your home fry stuff is frying. Let it cool.

Grate about a cup of your favorite cheesy cheese. I really like provolone, but you could do cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, the cheese world is your oyster!

Now in a separate bowl take 4 large eggs and beat them until its smooth and yellow. Add two cups of whole milk or light cream depending on how rich you want it. Beat them together.


Take your favorite cheese, and sprinkle it into the bottom of the pie plate. Now toss in the home fries and egg mixture. I suggest putting your pie pan on a cookie sheet and then putting it in the oven. It help insulate it and if anything spills, it won't get all over your oven.  Bake at 375F for about half an hour until the center of your pie is a little jiggly.

And NO, I have not forgotten about bacon. If you want to crumble up some bacon into this quiche be my guest! Sounds delicious! Have fun and as usual, don't burn your house down.
