EASY QUICHE !

You know those days when you look in the fridge and there doesn't seem to be much to do anything with?

This recipe is for one THOSE days...........some left over veggies - a few eggs - a little cheese and a ready made pie crust if you're lazy ( I am ) or a beautiful home made one if you're able to do that ( I'm not ) and you have the most delicious meal :)

Preheat oven to 350

Ingredients:

3 eggs if you're using a store bought crust ( you'll see why later ) if you're making your own crust
you'll use 4 eggs
1 cup of broccoli
1 cup of cauliflower
1 onion
1 cups of milk ( I use heavy cream but you can use either or even half and half it )
1 cup of mozerella or swiss shredded cheese
Parmesean cheese
Tablespoon of hot chili flakes ( I put that $^@^% on everything LOL )
Garlic - one clove
Tablespoon of fine herbs
Pinch of salt pepper an chives
Tablespoon of butter

A lot of recipes for quiche call for boiling the veggies for a little before starting -
I don't do that
After chopping everything up small

I saute the onion in a frying pan using the tablespoon of butter for 5 minutes or so and then add my vegetables

Cooking for 2 or 3 minutes at the most................the quiche is going to go in the oven and cook for quite a while so the veggies don't need more time than that !
Next I start on the egg mixture - adding my cream ( or milk or both )

and then everything else

place your veggies in the pie shell

Add your cheeses on top of the mixure

Now the next step is very very important - especially if you have a blog AND you've just joined instagram because as you know you must get pics of each step of the process - so while holding your phone in one hand and pouring the egg mixture over the veggies and cheese be sure to pay attention and grab a shot of the eggs running over the side of the pie tin and down the table and butcher block.

John says - What the HELL is going on here - get off the damn stool with your camera for God Sakes
Suzan says - I was sharing my quiche recipe - I didn't do this on purpose
John says - GET OFF THE STOOL BEFORE YOU KILL YOURSELF !
John says - ARE YOU TAKING A PICTURE OF THAT MESS?
John says - WHAT KIND OF BLOGGING ARE YOU DOING?
John says - I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE READS YOU
Suzan says - It was all going too perfect - I just knew something was going to happen
Suzan says - Get out of the kitchen please - I think you jinxed me
John roars - So..........what are we having for supper?  Hotdogs ?

But we had QUICHE SUZANNE

And it was delicious - even if my photos are crappy ( forgive me - the momentum was lost in the mayhem )
You just gotta trust me sometimes.............so after pouring the egg mixture over the veggies - you place it in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes - until sharp knife inserted comes out clean
( DO NOT USE SHARP KNIFE ON BETTER HALF AS THEY STAND THERE LAUGHING )

Hey if you're looking for perfection you go to Giada's site
but this was delicious none the less.

PLEASE BELIEVE ME?
Have a wonderful day everyone !
Make a quiche or something :)
Hugs,
Me
( you know - the not Giada person )
It just occurred to me - just this exact moment actually - that my life is a constant series of moments coming to screeching halts..................
Have to work on that.

I WANNA live there Wednesday # 152

Paris...........

I REALLY do want to live there part of the year.
In a perfect world I'd live there for 3 months -3 months in Manhattan - 3 months in my beloved Montreal - and then smack in the middle of winter - I'd spend 3 months somewhere HOT.

Anyway this week it's about Paris apartments of which I completely see myself in any one of them.
There's not a lot of photo's per listing but what there is..........oh gosh it's pure eye candy !

CHARMING RENOVATED APARTMENT

In a prestigious period building located in the Golden Triangle, rue Chambiges, one-bedroom apartment of 45m² (35,5m² Carrez law) on the 6th floor. The apartment has been recently renovated with the finest materials and the most modern facilities. It comprises: Entrance Living room Open kitchen 

Bedroom Shower room WC 

There's nothing quite so beautiful architecturally as Paris roof lines - the hotel we used to stay at looked out at the most glorious roof lines - I used to sit at the window for far too long gazing out at them.
You'd never see an apartment being advertised in North America with pics of that LOL !

You can tell by the windows and sloped ceilings that this apartment is on the top floor - tucked under dormers and eaves

Pieds a terre at it's finest !

This next one ?
Good grief - I almost had to take a valium just to look at it - it's that spectacular !
( I'm probably dating myself here - I don't know what people take today - but when I was little all the Mothers were on valium LMHO )

Can you see the view from that window - holy vache ! ( vache is french for cow - I'm trying to be worldly here )
It's almost too much to take in don't you think?

Why there would EVER be carpet over these floors I have no idea - but that window in my bedroom
Oui  merci

It's not a typical Paris apartment in the sense that we North Americans think of them - but the outdoor space is absolutely priceless !

OH. MY. GOSH.

All this and heaven too!
The dinner parties with twinkling lights and good wine - baguette and aged cheese - while looking over the streets of Paris ?
