My school had a book fair a couple weeks ago. A great deal on books. Buy one get one! So I purchased 4 books. 3 children's books and one for myself....this baby :
Usually, when I purchase cook books, they sit in the bag I bought them in and I never actually make anything. I WANT to make something but honestly my desire and promise never turns into anything. But, since I didn't have a bag, and my co-workers agreed with the whole "I would never make anything" discussion, I decided to attempt to try a recipe.
I made a trip to the beach yesterday and decided to TRY and make this:
Seemed fitting. Crab. Beach.
Admittingly, I HAD NO IDEA what a quiche was so this was definitely trial and error You can benefit from my "mistakes". I would really call consider them as "I didn't know what a quiche was" learning experience.
Okay so, I followed the directions but I substituted the swiss cheese with mozzarella and cheddar. I'm not a swiss fan.
I cooked for 40 minutes at 350. When I took it out of the oven I let it cool (this is where my little knowledge about a quiche came into play). I waited clearly NOT ENOUGH time and it came out like this:
With that being said, the knife was clean but it was just "runny". While I was eating my yummy goodness, it started to really harded up. So, I just needed to let it cool longer. Probably 20 minutes. I went back after 20 and this is what it looked like in the middle:
Overally, my first quiche was AMAZING. The Casserole Queens did not steer me wrong on this one; except for my lack of knowledge on quiches. LET IT COOL FOR ATLEAST 20 MINUTES. Or, as I've since read, make the night before and eat the next day. It was soooooo gooood I'm having the rest for breakfast again tomorrow!!
