CHICKEN QUICHE REAL MEN LOVE



Chicken Quiche Real Men Love image

This recipe won 1st place in the RSC Lucky #13 contest. This quiche is more like a meat and vegetable pie with a cheese/egg custard holding it together. Because the chicken, onions and mushrooms are sauted to the point of carmelization the resulting flavors create a really tasty quiche. I hope you try it and that your family enjoys it as much as we did. This was so good the first time that I didn't make any changes and only needed to make it once, since no adjustments we necessary. My granddaughter who had never eaten any kind of quiche and was reluctant to try it, said after the first few bites, "OOOh, This is really good, I like this!" I hope you like it as well. This can easily be a main dish for dinner or for lunch. It is so full of meat and veggies that it is a meal in itself.

Makeover Real-Man Quiche image

This quiche is one of my husband's favorites, probably because it has bacon. Sometimes I add sliced fresh white or baby portobello mushrooms and saute them with the onions for more "meatiness." The makeover version looks wonderful! - Ruby Hochstetler, Holland, Michigan

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pie crust, either homemade or store-bought. A flaky, buttery crust will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. The eggs should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and tough.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help the quiche to hold its shape.
  • Serve the quiche with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Chicken quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for an easy and satisfying meal, give chicken quiche a try. You won't be disappointed!
