Quiche

A simple quiche, with ingredients you can mix and match to your own taste. Feel free to substitute any of your favorite ingredients, or substitute with something you have on hand. Qhiche is easily adaptable and easy to make to your own preferential taste. This makes 2 quiches, which is perfect for our family for a meal, but if it's too much for you at once, after baking and cooling the quiche, wrap one and freeze for future use.

Quiche

2 (9-inch) unbaked pie crusts
1 onion, chopped
1 TBSP. butter 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 1/2 lbs. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 lb. sausage browned and drained

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1 (14 oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli, cooked crisp tender
2 (4 oz.) cans sliced mushrooms, drained
8 large eggs
2 cups evaporated milk 'or' heavy cream
1 tsp. salt
pepper to taste

Preheat oven 350* F.
Line 2 9-inch pie plates with the pie crust. In a pan, melt the butter ans saute the onion until soft and cooked through or carmelized if you prefer. Sprinkle about 1 cup of cheese over the bottom of each crust. Divide the cooked bacon and sausage and sprinkle over top of the cheese. Add the onion, Parmesan,  cooked broccoli, mushrooms, and the remaining cheddar cheese, dividing them between both pies. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. Pour the mixture evenly over both pies, divining evenly between both. Press the mixture down if needed to make sure the entire top is wetted with the egg mixture. Bake @ 350* F for45-60 minutes until the center is cooked through.
