Valentine's Day Quiche.

So this Valentine's Day I decided that it is far more annoying to be in a long distance relationship where your partner is far away, than to be single. I missed my boy very much and made the biscuits in the above picture in his honor (he loves biscuits.) So in order to distract myself, I decided to try out a quiche recipe I have been eyeballing for a while now.

All Things Tasty Quiche- Makes 2
1/2 lbs Bacon cooked and crumbled
1 Onion chopped
2 cloves Garlic
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 lbs Mushrooms sliced
2 Cups Smoked Ham cut into small cubes
10 oz Spinach (frozen is easiest but fresh is tastier)
8 oz Sour Cream
8 oz Monterrey Jack Cheese shredded
8 oz Cheddar Cheese shredded
4-6 oz Parmesan Cheese shredded
8 Eggs
1 -1/2 cups Half and Half
Parsley
Green Onions
2 Deep Dish Pie Crusts
Salt and Pepper

I tweaked a recipe by Clark Hamblen.

1. Preheat oven to 375. Fry up Bacon in Skillet. Crumble and set aside.

2. In frying pan saute Onions and Garlic until soft and translucent. If you are feeling feisty try sauteing with the bacon grease. Add Mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add Bacon and Ham, remove from heat.

3.Combine Sour Cream and Spinach in a bowl. Salt and Pepper to taste. Divide and spread mixture into the two crusts.

4. Divide and spread the Bacon, Ham mixture in the crusts on top of the Spinach mixture.

5. Mix together Cheeses, divide and sprinkle over pies.

6. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together Eggs, Half and Half, season with Salt and Pepper, a handful of Green Onions, and Parsley.

7. CAREFULLY ladle eggs on top of pies. The egg mixture is in great danger of going everywhere if you are not slow and careful here!!

8. Put pies on cookie sheet to help with overflow and place in the center of your heated oven. Bake 40 minutes or until top is puffy and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve!

Enjoy
