Quiche Kit

I love making quiche, but it can be very time-consuming. Usually when I take the time to make one I prepare ingredients for several more just to save prep time later. I generally don't share recipes because I don't follow them - I tend to eyeball rather than measure ingredients and I regularly change ingredients, seasonings and portions. That being said, here's (approximately) what you need to make one quiche kit.

Crust

• sliced mushrooms (2 cups)
• butter or olive oil (1/4 cup)
• wheat germ (3/4 cup)
• salt
• pepper
• chili powder
• basil
  

Layer 1

• sausage-style veggie crumbles (1/2 package)
• diced onions (1/2 cup)

Layer 2

• peas (3/4 cup)
• corn (3/4 cup)
• diced carrots (3/4 cup)

Layer 3

• shredded cheese (1 cup)

Layer 4

• 4 eggs
• milk (3/4 cup)

Freezing Directions

• put mushrooms in small ziplock
• mix wheat germ and seasoning in small ziplock
• if using butter cut 1/4 cup to freeze
• put veggie crumbles and onions in small ziplock
• put peas, corn and carrots in small ziplock
• put cheese in small ziplock
• put your 5 small ziplocks and butter in a 1 gallon ziplock and freeze

Cooking Directions

• saute mushrooms with butter or oil in skillet
• remove mushrooms (leaving the skillet oiled) and put in pie plate
• mix wheat germ and seasoning into mushrooms and press into pie plate
• saute veggies crumbles and onions
• layer veggies crumbles and onions over mushroom crust
• thaw peas, corn and carrots in skillet with lid
• layer peas, corn and carrots over veggies crumbles and onions
• layers cheese over peas, corn and carrots
• whisk eggs and milk together and pour over quiche
• bake at 450 degrees for about 35 minutes
• let sit until firm, cut and eat!

If you plan ahead and thaw your kit you'll be able to prepare this quickly. If you're thawing as you go, it adds a little extra cooking time. Enjoy!
