Bacon and Mushroom Quiche





Two weeks ago, I asked the husband if he's ok with having brunch. He said it's fine. So I started cooking at 7am but he started becoming hungry at 7:30. Oh my! >__<

I have been quite curious about quiches for a long time. I'm a bit hesitant to make the crust, not trusting myself enough that I can do, so I always put it off. But that day, I decided I will conquer this fear and make a quiche! :)

I used the recipe from Simplyrecipes.com as a guide. I added bacon and didn't add shallots (as I don't like onions hehe). Also, I only used 1 egg since my pie plate is rather small. After all, the quiche is just for two people!

Too bad, I didn't have a decent photo of the quiche
To make the crust, I used the same recipe from the site. Since I didn't have pie weights, I used rice. Of course, I tried putting the rice on the crust to see if it won't stick, but it did. So it took me longer to take out the grains and decided to put foil over it before putting the rice again. :D

It was such a treat, and a filling one at that! I thought it would feel like an omelet on a pie crust, but it didn't. I want to do it again. This time, just mushrooms or something spinach and sundried tomatoes! Hmmm...
