Quiche!

We had tomato, leek and asparagus quiche; a bacon quiche; and parsnip gratin (made with goat cheese) for dinner yesterday night.

I'm going to spare you the parsnip pictures because parsnips are not very colorful or photogenic.  I think everyone was kind-of in agreement that we would have preferred potatoes, but for some reason my boyfriend has been on this parsnip kick lately.

I would describe a quiche as a sort-of fluffy eggy cheese pie.  It is delicious.  If you've never had it, trust me!  My favorite quiche is made with bacon and gruyère (cheese).  It is really a brunch food, my boyfriend tells me.

Here is the bacon that went in the quiche:




And the (sweated/sauteed) leeks, (fresh) tomatoes, and (blanched) asparagus that went in the other quiche:

       

And the final products!

Although the eggs and cream (custard) in the quiche make it have a fluffy texture, it is actually pretty heavy and filling.

Can you tell from our last two Wednesday night meals that I love eggs?  I do think if I had to pick between the two, I would have the eggs benedict.  But quiche is great!  I definitely wouldn't turn it down.  Eggs?  Good!  Cheese?  Good!  Bacon?  Good!
