Basic Quiche

This is a great basic quiche recipe~ I have altered my quiche recipe to the point it no longer looks like the one I found years ago, and I couldn't tell you where I found that one anyway.

1 pie crust (I use the pillsbury roll-out)
4 eggs
1 can evaporated milk (use the Vitamin D not the skim milk~ big difference)
1 cup (ish) shredded cheese
Salt and Pepper
1 tsp. dried herbs
Veggies, meat, tomatoes, or anything your heart desires. (see suggestions below)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out pie crust in a 9 inch pie plate. Spread out veggies and/or meat evenly in the bottom of the pie shell. Top with about 1/2 the cheese (one generous handful). Sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, and herbs. Whisk together eggs and evaporated milk, pour into shell. Top with remainder of cheese and any other veggies. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

Suggested fillings: this quiche has turned out great with anything I put in it. Bacon bits can be added to any of the suggestions below for a little extra flavor. Be creative!

• Ham and cheese~ use about 1 cup of diced ham~ this tastes good with thyme.
• Tomato and Feta~ use about 3 small plum or Roma tomatoes and a mild white cheese such as mozzarella. Then top it off with about 1/2 cup feta. Tomato rounds look pretty when arranged on top. (Spinach is also good in this. Use one 10 oz. box of chopped spinach thawed and squeezed out of all water)
• Garden~ use any veggies you have: I love to use zucchini or summer squash~ good with herbs de Provence or thyme. Careful not to have to much moisture in the various veggie combinations.
