I just can't understand why quiche receives the misnomer of "women's food". Why is quiche the antitheses of masculinity in today's culture? Think about what's in it besides egg... lots of cheese, meat, more cheese, heavy milk. If we're talking stereotypes, isn't "women's food" supposed to be dainty and low-calorie? Quiche is one of the hardier breakfasts that one can eat, and I have yet to find a man who doesn't enjoy the tasty dish when it is served to him.

The Ingredients:
5 slices or more of crispy bacon, crumbled into bits (I truly believe you can never have enough bacon)
1 diced med onion
2 cups shredded cheddar (I used sharp/mature)
1 Tbs flour
3 eggs
1 1/2cups milk (I used 1%)
1/2 tea salt

1 pie crust- I used Light Pie Crust

The Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F (180C) and par-bake pie crust for 10 minutes. After crust is done, increase oven temperature to 400F (200C).

While crust is in the oven, beat eggs and add milk. Mix together.

Toss cheddar with the 1Tbs flour. (The flour helps thicken the quiche but won't get as clumpy since it's dispersed throughout the cheese). Reserve about 1/2 cup cheese for the top of the quiche.

Add most of the cheese/flour mixture, and all the bacon, onion, and salt to the milk/egg mixture.

Pour mixture onto par-baked crust and top with the rest of the cheese.

Bake in 400F (200C) oven for 30-35min, or until golden on top.

After baked, let the quiche rest for 10 minutes.

We love this and I switch up the meat depending on what I have on hand. Pictured above, I used English Richmond pork sausage since I had some cooked up. It was good but slightly mild for my taste. I like bacon better but both worked. Cheap liked it, Sweet Pea preferred a slice of plain whole-wheat bread. Go figure.
