I love quiches! In the past I have made several for my blog, including an Asian inspired one and toaster oven quiches which I made for a while when we discovered the stove in the house we bought was not quite functional. Mostly my quiche routine is the same, I switch around fillings here and there but nothing new, til now. I came up with the brilliant idea to use thinly sliced potatoes as a crust for my latest quiche.
2 chicken breast (pre cooked)
6 slices of bacon
2 small potatoes
chives
generous sprinkles of:
minced onion
oregano
black pepper
garlic powder
parsley
quiche base:
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
5 eggs
5 pieces swiss cheese
1/4 cup parmesean cheese
I use a mandolin to slice the potatoes. It is so fast. I have had one in my drawer for years and not used it til very recently. I have no idea why I resisted using it, but I was mistaken. That thing is amazing!
Layer then in a greased pan
All of my ingredients prepared
Melt the butter
Mix in the flour
Whisk in the milk
Stir on medium low heat until it thinckens and add the spices
Take off the heat and melt in the cheese
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between each one
Add the bacon chicken and chives
Pour over potatoes
And sprinkle with parmesean cheese
Bake at 325 for about and hour or so
