Don’t even read this if you’re going to feel guilty! But for a guiltless, calorie- rich, ultimate quiche experience read on … you may never eat a “regular” quiche again! And if you want the experience without the labor, come stay at  The Inn at Bowman’s Hill in New Hope, Pennsylvania, regarded by many as the best Bed and Breakfast in Bucks County.

Our quiche has several variations … this one is the western quiche.

INGREDIENT LIST

2 bell peppers

1 large onion

3/4 lb mushrooms

3/4 lb aged English cheddar cheese

3 eggs (straight from the chicken is best!)

1 tomato

1/4 lb Canadian ham   

1 tablespoon mayonaisse

butter

parsley flakes, black pepper

1 frozen deep dish pie crust

METHOD

Dice the peppers, onion, mushrooms, tomato and ham. Mix the diced pepper and onion, add  pepper and stir fry with small amount of butter for 8 to 10 minutes. Dice the mushrooms and microwave on high for 2 to 4 minutes, drain the water and add to the stir fry (for the last 5 minutes or so).  Grate the cheese into a bowl … add the stir fried veggie  mix to the cheese.  Add the mayonaisse, two whole eggs, one egg yolk, the diced ham and a tablespoon of parsley flakes. Stir well. Now add the diced  tomato and fold lightly. Spoon into the pie crust and smooth. Decorate with bell pepper strips. Place in lower oven at 380 for 20 to 25 minutes. Move to the upper oven for a further 15 minutes or until brown.

Allow to cool before cutting and serving …
