If you haven’t already noticed I love to cook and I love to try new recipes. So in honor of our recent trip to Paris I thought I would post a couple of quiche recipes I recently tried! (btw – when I was there I ordered the quiche de jour for lunch and they put tuna in it. It was not what I expected but still tasty).

No Crust Bacon Quiche

Ingredients
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
Salt and pepper to taste 
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese   
6-8 strips cooked, crumbled bacon                                                                                          1/2 cup biscuit/baking mix

In blender, combine the eggs, milk and butter. Add the biscuit mix and salt and pepper. Cover and process for 15 seconds. Pour into a greased 9 in pie plate. Top with bacon and cheese. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Artichoke and Spinach Quiche

Ingredients
4 oz. shredded Swiss cheese
1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie crust
14.5 oz. can artichoke hearts, well-drained, chopped and patted dry
2 pkts. Artichoke & Spinach Warm Dip Mix
4 eggs
1 cup milk
Directions
Spread cheese evenly in the bottom of the pie crust; top with artichoke hearts. Combine dip mix packets, eggs and milk; whisk until smooth. Pour egg mixture over artichokes hearts and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until set. Makes 6 servings. (taken from www.tsbycacey.com under Try our Recipes)

Tip: I make several batches of pie dough ahead of time and freeze them in dough balls wrapped in cellophane and stored in a freezer tight zip-lock. As long as I take out the desired amount the night before and let it defrost in the fridge – it still rolls out perfectly and maintains its flakiness.
